Opera at the Eildon Pondage
Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (09:38): On a perfect night in January I took great delight in attending the opera, not your ordinary opera but one outdoors and set within a spectacular natural landscape and sung under a clear night sky full of stars both on the stage and overhead. Opera at the Eildon Pondage featured internationally renowned and almost local opera singer Breanna Stillman. While the singing was amazing and there were great crowds, the real stars of the event were the organisers and volunteers who made it possible. Congratulations to Karine Haslam, Marisa Hodge, Sandi McLear, Sue Aitken, Annette Van Der Hoek, Chloe Lewis, Katie Lansell and Sophie Cohen, the Eildon Lions Club and a host of community volunteers.
