Hey Mike,

yep, the macquarie philharmornia Orchestra were simply superb, soloists were very good.

and yes, they did belt out Nessun Dorma and other famous ones.
Bit of humour too as the MC had played the mayor in the movie, the dish.

The backdrop of the Dish and the moon above was an inspiring sight and iconic of the connection it made in the apollo era between the moon and the earth.
they have some pics on their website as well
