Downtown Toyota Joins Forces with Opera Queensland

Opera Queensland Van

Driving Arts Access Across the State

Downtown Toyota is proud to partner with Opera Queensland, aiming to make opera widely accessible and to foster community through the universal language of music. This collaboration leverages Downtown Toyota’s vehicles to extend Opera Queensland's reach to even the most isolated communities, ensuring that the joy and storytelling of opera are shared statewide.

Our involvement with Opera Queensland’s Festival of Outback Opera tour embodies Downtown Toyota's core belief, 'Because We're Different.' This initiative is not just about providing transportation; it's about building experiences and facilitating community engagements across Queensland.

Central to this partnership is the Toyota Hi-Ace, decked out in vibrant Opera Queensland livery, which will carry performers and their equipment to various events, including the celebrated Festival of Outback Opera.

Wrapped by SignRight Australia, this vehicle not only serves as a moving advertisement but also symbolizes the outreach mission to bring opera to every corner of Queensland. Watch the striking wrap here, a testament to artistic and practical collaboration:

“Downtown Toyota's support is crucial in reaching regional Queensland. This year we are travelling more than 10,000 kilometres. The more we travel, the more we are fostering connections with local communities and showcasing the spectacular settings of these destinations. These events are not just special for audiences, but also a contributor to Queensland’s regional tourism economy.”

- Patrick Nolan, CEO of Opera Queensland

This initiative is a step forward in making the arts more available to everyone, nurturing a sense of belonging through cultural experiences.
