Twilight Christmas Carols

Christmas carols, champagne and the charm of historic Newstead House — make an evening of it this festive season. On Wednesday 9 December, celebrate under the Brisbane summer twilight as much-loved carols and festive favourites are brought to life.

In partnership with Opera Queensland, this special Christmas celebration pairs the voices of Opera Queensland stars, with a setting full of history and character. Rediscover the melodies you know and love, performed live for an evening that captures the magic of Christmas.

Your evening begins at 5:30pm with a glass of champagne, delicious canapés and time to explore Newstead House on a self-guided tour. Soak up the charm of this historic home before settling in for a one-hour performance from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, filled with beautiful voices and timeless Christmas melodies.

Gather your favourite people for an evening of soaring voices, much-loved carols and festive celebration. With historic Newstead House as your backdrop and the warmth of a Brisbane summer evening around you, this is Christmas with a little extra sparkle.

Tickets are $80 per person, with concession tickets priced at $72. The ticket includes champagne on arrival, canapés, a self-guided tour of Newstead House and a one-hour seated performance from Opera Queensland.

Let Opera Queensland put you in the Christmas spirit — join us at Newstead House for a festive evening to remember.
