rawcard singer Nicholas Jones will perform with fellow tenors – Dplatinum-selling Mark Vincent and Sun Aria winner Brenton Spiteri – in a rare billing by Australian Music Events at Beechworth’s Opera in the Alps on January 19, next year. The production company, established by Graeme Wall and Margot Cory-Wall in 1995 to give voice to emerging and established performers of opera and musical theatre and provide opportunities for audiences to hear them in spectacular settings, will stage the trio as ‘The Three Tenors’ under the North East’s summer night sky. The event – one of Australia’s premier outdoor fine music presentations – takes place on Beechworth golf course in the foothills of the Victorian Alps. Jones, who describes himself on Instagram as ‘singer, dog-patter, frisbee- thrower (and) occasional barista’ and was Opera Scholar of the Year in 2009, only last month completed an acclaimed performance as David in Opera Australia’s Melbourne season of Richard Wagner’s ‘Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg’. At Opera in the Alps he will sing works by Lehàr, Cordillo and De Capua before he heads to the Sydney Opera House to take to the stage as Schmidt in Opera Australia’s late summer season of Massenet’s ‘Werther’. Ahead of Opera in the Alps’ main program the audience will hear Beechworth blues and roots singer-songwriter Marisa Quigley – described by the Adelaide Fringe 2017 Review as ‘phenomenal’ – performing as Marisa Quigley and Her Sunday Best with Darren Christie. The pair will also lead Beechworth’s 60-strong Empire Pub Choir – the upshot of a reprise of a packed-house jam between choir and scholars in Beechworth in November. Gates open at 5.30pm, enabling guests to enjoy the fairway setting between extraordinary, snow-barked brittle gums. Regional produce and hand-crafted beer and wine are available, or patrons can choose delicious Premium Dining or Tapas packages, which include concert tickets, ahead of the main performance at 8.00pm.

Kyle and Rod Andrews squeezed a win over Cain Murray and Lachie Robinson but then Cain and Dan Mawson got it back in a tie breaker. Rod and Nick Asquith fi nished off the men’s with a tight 6-4. The Avenel women were a bit too strong winning all three sets with the tightest being against Alana Birch and Maureen Jewell in a tie breaker. Alana and Kyle then bounced back with a strong 6-3 win with the other two in tie break- ers going either way. In the end Avenel Red won by fi ve games. Longwood with two men out called on the services of Peter Jewell and Craig Mercuri with Mark Borthwick and Peter kicking it off with a good win 6-3 then going down with Craig in a tie breaker. The trio of Chris Ellis, Deb Seach and Sally Redfern cleaned up the ladies. Being eight games up going into the mixed was expected to be tight with Peter and Deb going down in a tie breaker but Mark Borth- wick and Chris Ellis won 6-2 for an overall victory of eight games. In Division two, Marlene’s marauders took on Avenel. The men struggled a bit until Steve Hicks and Dan Johnston had an 8-3 win. Then Simon Burke and Dan wiped with a 6-0. Marlene Hanrahan, Robyn Johnson and Eddie Tilton all went down unfortunately and Avenel were too strong in the mixed with a clean sweep. Avenel won by 17 games. Bogie Ranges and Euroa faced up to each other which we all thought would be a tight game but Bogie jumped out of the blocks win- ning two out of three of the men’s sets. Keigan Hicks and Michael Nolan proved too strong against Phil Mollison and Barry Fischer. Michael then backed it up with Declan Wes- ton, 6-2, over Barry Fischer and Josh Higgins. The Bogie ladies were once again on fi re led by Judy Sands 6-1, 6-0 with Lyn Pierce fi lling 3 in with Rowena Ellis to make it a clean sweep 6-2 over Kerrie Smith and Kelly Chapman. Barry and Kerrie did combine well with a win over Declan and Judy, 6-3, but Bogie was too strong winning by 22 games. In Division three, Euroa played Avenel with the fi rst pairs losing but Bella Vaz and Lynne Manson got things going with a tight 8-6. Maddie Andrews and Lynne Manson then were fl ying with an 8-3 win and then Lyn backed it up with an 8-6 with Grant Chaston. 1) ON THE ATTACK: Maureen Jewell 4 This was a good effort just going down to moves in quickly to deal with this ball.
