A NEW Belle of the Ballarat Carols by Candlelight ball has been announced to sing on Sunday, 22 December.<\/p>\n
Ballarat musical theatre personality and star of BLOC\u2019s recent production of Beauty and the Beast<\/em>, Brittany Harbour will perform at City Oval on the big night.<\/p>\n A graduate of Ballarat Academy of Performing Arts, now Federation University Arts Academy, Harbour started ballet at age two. Treading the boards feels like home.<\/p>\n Formerly a member Connie Lemke\u2019s choir, Harbour remembers being part of the event as a child. Stepping off stage, she\u2019d join the audience to enjoy the rest of the show.<\/p>\n \u201cSitting there, we\u2019d look at the sky to see if Santa\u2019s sleigh was going over. All those memories have come flooding back,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019d meet up with our friends, end up playing with all the children and it\u2019s just such a good way for the community to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n Harbour calls Ballarat to get fully on board the festive train, having been sad to hear the carols had been \u201ccanned\u201d earlier this year.<\/p>\n \u201cTo see some people come together to bring it back to life… To work for a cause and see something positive come from it, this is what community theatre should be,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d always be encouraging the community to support local events because that\u2019s when we get to see things get bigger and better, when we have the turn out.<\/p>\n \u201cThe joy of Christmas is being able to share something with everybody. It\u2019s exciting to get to have a sing, and I\u2019m just such a big Christmas fan. Anything Christmas, I\u2019m definitely on board.\u201d<\/p>\n The Ballarat Carols by Candlelight presented by Harcourts is set for Sunday, 22 December at City Oval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A NEW Belle of the Ballarat Carols by Candlelight ball has been announced to sing on Sunday, 22 December.
