Ballina-based opera singer Katie Rutledge usually treads the boards with Opera Queensland, but this year things have been a little different.
She told
Echonetdaily, ‘Although performances were limited in QPAC in Brisbane this year due to COVID, we did have the opportunity to perform “Opera Under the Stars” at Riverstage in the Botanical Gardens.
‘It was a beautiful concert with people purchasing a patch of grass rather than a seat,’ she said.
‘Online performances from OperaQ such as Aria a Day have also been great for artists to reconnect with their audience during COVID isolation and especially with border closures.’
