Opera Queensland's major production Rusalka is swimming into the Glasshouse Theatre in Napier Street, Caloundra, bringing a captivating and bizarre take on the classic fairytale. According to brisbanetimes.com.au, the production is not your typical happy ending story, positioning it as darker and more twisted than audiences might expect from the Little Mermaid narrative.

For Sunshine Coast arts lovers and culture seekers, the season offers a chance to experience major opera productions without needing to travel south. The Glasshouse has become established as the region's flagship venue for large-scale performing arts, and Rusalka represents the calibre of work now regularly reaching local audiences as the venue's programming matures and attracts state-based companies.
