Dame Nellie Melba...Join us for an evening to celebrate Dame Nellie's birthday, with foods named in her honour and music to match from the Melba Opera Trust scholars.

There will be performances during the course of the five course dinner.Dame Nellie Melba was a regular at the Savoy Hotel, London. Auguste Escoffier, the legendary chef from the Savoy , invented and named the light accompaniment of dry thinly sliced bread after her (Melba Toast) when Melba was ill in 1897. Escoffier also created the Peach Melba, Melba Sauce and Melba Garniture in her Honour.We would love the evening to reflect the style and glamour of Dame Nellie, why not dust off the finery in honour of the fashionista icon.

Tables of 8 -6 can be placed together depending on availability.

Tickets can also be purchased from the BMI Library - 03 5331 3024

This event takes place on Wadawurrung Country. The Ballaarat Mechanics' Institute acknowledges the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we work, learn and create. Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land.
