Unveiling Cavalcade: A Night of Artistry and Elegance on Kurrawa Beach
Prepare to be mesmerised by "Cavalcade," the dazzling grand finale of this year’s Bleach* festival, brought to life on the picturesque sands of Broadbeach.
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime event where dressage, opera, equestrian excellence, orchestra, and trick riding come alive at sunset on the beach, and a full moon rises on the same August night!
Cavalcade explores the concept of "Control to Freedom" by delving into the remarkable bond between humans and horses, revealing how trust transforms control into connection and discipline into freedom. Watch the elegance of opera with the grace of equestrian performance, creating an unforgettable night of storytelling, drama, and dressage.
From the brilliant imagination of Michael Zavros, and directed by the visionary Gavin Webber, "Cavalcade" invites you to witness opera performed live as the sun sets on Kurrawa Beach.
As the golden hues of dusk emerge, a captivating dance between horse and human unfolds, set against a spine-tingling operatic soundtrack. This production challenges the boundaries of traditional stagecraft, compelling audiences to explore art in its most dynamic and expressive forms.
