Officers enjoy a night of drama
Dressed to impress: Senior Sergeant Col Henderson and Superintendent Russell Miller of Mount Isa Police Station
Two Mount Isa police officers hit a high note last week, singing in an opera in the outback city.
Senior Sergeant Col Henderson, the Officer in Charge of Mt Isa Police Station, and Superintendent Russell Miller, the District Officer of the Mt Isa Police District, stepped off the beat and onto the stage to take part in Opera Queensland’s Project Puccini.
The operatic officers were among 50 Mt Isa residents chosen to form the chorus in the production of the Italian opera La boheme.
‘The beat’ took on a whole new meaning for the musical men in blue as they swapped law enforcement for the limelight, singing in Italian and performing alongside principal artists from Opera Queensland.
La boheme toured the state and Queenslanders had the opportunity to star in the chorus of their local productions.
