Three performances. Three sell out shows. Hundreds of satisfied guests!
In just its third year, the Capricorn Caves' Underground Opera is fast becoming one of the real highlights on Central Queensland's social calendar.
Indeed such is the growing popularity of the show that additional seating had to be supplied to cater for all the guests during the recent November shows!
"The staff had to find room for around 40 extra chairs so that was a job in itself carrying all the extra seating into the Cathedral," Cave owner Ann Augusteyn laughed.
And For three consecutive nights there wasn't an empty seat in the house ( or cave... as it were) as crowds flocked to see such classics as 'Sweeney Todd' and the 'Barber of Seville' in a somewhat surreal limestone setting.
Staff from SKAL International Capricornia were the given the VIP treatment as special guests for the evening and judging from their response, Ann believes they'll be first in line for tickets come 2011.
"They had never seen anything like it," she said.
"The majority of the guests have seen the show every year since its inception in 2008 and they keep coming back so we must be doing something right and I'm sure we'll see them all again next year."
The concerts will return again in May.
