Although the children of Newcastle will be having two weeks off from their studies, with just a couple of months until our next concert series, OPERA GALA, Acappella Nova will be rehearsing through the school holidays.
We can't wait to present stunning arias, scintillating duets and spectacular opera choruses. Join us for two afternoons of extravagance as our musicians treat you to a visual and aural display unseen before in the region.

Welcome!
Hello and Welcome to Musical Matinees,
While we've been around for a while, we're starting to expand and have recently become an officially incorporated organisation. We have proudly produced and supported a wide variety of classical concerts throughout the Port Stephens, Newcastle and Hunter Valley regions for the last eleven years and continue to build our performer base and concert series. Our concerts are always fun, whether they are big, long, sing-a-longs of classics or full operatic performances.
We hope to see you on here often, checking in to see how rehearsals are going, finding out about our next concerts and maybe even looking at our artist profiles so you can get to know our awesome performers a little bit better.
Check out some of the groups we support on facebook...
