I’m proud to announce that Hawke’s Bay Opera House has been awarded a five-star Qualmark rating – just more proof it is an international standard facility in Hastings, the Heart of Hawke’s Bay.
Hawke’s Bay has so many positive things to offer and I’m really impressed with how Fruitbowl is taking that story to the world.
As a Fruitbowl newbie I thought my debut should splash down with some great news, so see the attached press release for more information on the Opera House’s most recent success…

That’s great news. I went to a 2 hour childrens’ ballet recital at the Opera House on Sunday night. I was dreading it but the quality of the venue turned a potentially gruelling marathon into a surprisingly pleasant dose of culture. The seats were comfortable and the atmosphere was fantastic!

2 hours of children’s ballet? Those must be some awfully comfortable seats!!
Seriously, well done to Lawrence and the Opera House team who have worked so hard at developing this venue into what it is today. It is truly fantastic.

I was there – not that comfortable after 2 hours – but then ballet and me don’t really see eye to eye!
HOWEVER… what a fantastic accolade for Hastings!! Thanks for sharing Lawrence!! And welcome to Fruitbowl.

The Opera House is looking stunning at the mo – go along after 7pm at night and see all the lights and Xmas trees.
