QBE is to sponsor Opera Australia’s regional tour of The Marriage of Figaro.

EGM Marketing Bettina Pidcock says the insurer is pleased to partner with an “iconic organisation” and take performing arts to regional areas.

“We are especially proud to help take this wonderful production of The Marriage of Figaro to so many fans, old and new, across Australia,” she said.

Opera Australia Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini says the Mozart masterpiece has been described as “the Downton Abbey of opera, but a whole lot more fun”.

QBE is giving away five double passes to each of three performances: In Victoria, at Warrnambool’s The Lighthouse on July 26 and Warragul’s West Gippsland Arts Centre on July 28; and in NSW, at Parramatta’s Riverside Theatre on August 19.
