Popular opera singer Jacqui Rutten is bringing her ‘Sacred Stage’ show to the Wyreena Music Cafe on Friday 25 May.
Councillor Alex Makin said Jacqui Rutten has a beautiful operatic voice that will take audiences on a moving and ethereal musical journey.
“Jacqui is one of Australia’s most accomplished opera singers and composers. She has been involved in various operatic productions including Chamber Made Opera, ABC Radio and a number of international music festivals,” said Cr Makin.
“Jacqui will entertain this month’s Music Cafe audience with a selection of music, using instruments and her wonderful voice that is strongly influenced by the Baroque style,” said Cr Makin.
Tickets for the evening are $20 for adults and $9 for children under 14 years.
Wyreena is a licensed venue, or you can bring your own bottle of wine to enjoy as you take in the show. A light supper is also provided on the night.
The Music Café in the Conservatory at Wyreena Community Arts Centre is located at 13-23 Hull Road, Croydon.
Bookings are essential. For further information or to make a booking contact Wyreena Community Arts Centre on 9294 5590.

The Heatherdale Community Action Group (HCAG) represents the needs of the Heatherdale community within Maroondah and Whitehorse. Since Heatherdale is divided between the two municipalities (the boundary being Heatherdale Road) an ongoing community presence is necessary to ensure dialogue between the two councils in regard to the needs of the Heatherdale community.
Since my ward borders Whitehorse and the encompasses the Heatherdale community I regularly attend the Heatherdale Community Action Group meetings to ensure that their needs are represented throughout council.
The Heatherdale Community Action Group meets from 7:30pm on the second Wednesday of each month at the Manhattan Hotel, corner Canterbury and Heatherdale Roads, Heatherdale.

As the Vice-President of the Public Transport Users Association (PTUA), I have been invited to speak at the 2007 Rail Infrastructure Conference to provide a users perspective of the success factors required for rail based public transport.
After decades of neglect, states around Australia are reinvesting heavily in rail and public transport due to economic, social and environmental benefits of sustainable transport. Unfortunately, Victoria is lagging behind the rest of the country since no new rail extensions are planned for at least 15 years.
This conference provides the opportunity to further advance the debate around the infrastructure needs of not just our urban cities but for the whole of Australia.
Alex Makin is a councillor for the Mullum Ward in the City of Maroondah. Alex has been a councillor since 2005, representing ratepayers, businesses, community groups and residents.
