A programme interspersed with film and great anecdotes, humour and a mix of opera arias like Nessun Dorma, and the Pearl Fishers duet.
Don’t worry, not everything is opera! Featuring melodies such as Tauber’s You are my Hearts Delight and Pedro the Fisherman, and Mario Lanza’s I’ll Walk with God.
As well as our Three Tenors we have Amanda Atlas, star of Opera Australia and New Zealand Opera, Susan Boland and David Kelly, principal accompanist and répétiteur with New Zealand Opera.

I am planning to do Bell Block , foot slogging , the CBD and the airport; I don't expect you to do this but some of you have asked me for the petition form so they can take it to friends, family, clubs, work etc.
When I did the petition for the walkway past John Matthews' factory a lot of people did the same, and took petition forms around friend family etc, and it is that which was the most successful method.
If you feel you can help in this way, I can email, post or deliver the form to you.
Obviously if people have signed the online petition the must not sign the paper form.
It is creating traction but we need everyone who feels disenfranchised and annoyed by this decision to stand up and fight for our history.
I look forward to hearing from you as many of you as possible.
Thank you in anticipation

Police and the NZ Transport Agency are reminding people to start their journey well rested and stay safe on the roads if they are going away for the long weekend.
“Share the road like it’s your family driving around you,” says Superintendent Steve Greally, National Manager Road Policing. “This is where Police’s focus remains as well. We know the four main behaviours that contribute to death and serious injury on our roads are people driving distracted, drivers impaired by fatigue, drugs, or alcohol, drivers speeding, and people not wearing their seatbelt.
Statistics: During Labour weekend in 2017 there were five fatal crashes and 76 reported injury crashes. These crashes resulted in six deaths, 23 serious injuries and 103 minor injuries.
In 2017, fatigue was a contributing factor in 32 fatal crashes and 100 serious injury crashes. Driver fatigue is difficult to identify or recognise as contributing to a crash. This means it’s likely that fatigue is under-recorded, and contributes to more crashes than we realise.
