We have just come back from our 8th Opera in Paradise Festival on beautiful Norfolk Island. Loads of photos, news and video coming to this site soon. Everything went exceedingly well with many glowing comments about the performances but also about the wonderful level of organisation We look forward to a bright new future with our friends and partners on Norfolk Island – a brilliant new Tourism G.M. , the ‘bringing to life’ of the lovely Hillcrest Hotel under Manager Tim, a 2nd venue for concerts and regular Air New Zealand services.
