About the event

Opera in the Garden 2026
Opera in the Garden returns to Tahamoana Farm as Summer sets in Te Tai Tokerau Northland! Don't miss this unique event that will delight all your senses.

In 2026, a concert 30 years in the making, we re-invent Opera in the Garden! A daytime concert in 3 acts, settle in with your picnic blankets and umbrellas, listen, linger and enjoy the sensory feast that is Opera North at Tahamoana Farm, Waipu Cove.

Special Guests for 2026 are 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗹𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝘂𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗼𝗻𝗼, two of Aotearoa’s rising Opera superstars. They join the chorus to sing “Votre toast!” (The Toreador Song) from Carmen, and The Easter Hymn from Cavalleria Rusticana. Also exploring new music from Ola Gjielo, Wicked The Musical and a smidge of Radiohead! This journey of song, beginning in Joan and Richard Kennaway’s Glenbervie garden in 1996, continues to reflect who we are as a community in Te Tai Tokerau, boisterous, exuberant, deeply musical, and rooted in our whenua.

With delectable food vendors to tempt you, there are no velvet seats in sight! But the wide skies of the remarkable Tahamoana Farm in Waipu Cove create an atmosphere no theatre can match.

You'll need to pack picnic blankets or chairs, and sun-hats or umbrellas, event is BYO. (OK, you can bring a velvet seat if you really like!)

GROUNDS OPEN AT 12 NOON to pick your perfect spot and set up, buy something delicious to nom and settle in.

Plenty of onsite parking and accessible drop off area.
