La traviata - Verdi
If you have never been to the opera before, you cannot go past this celebrated production of La traviata. The achingly beautiful sets and lavish period costumes fill the stage with colour, while Verdi's music fills the entire theatre with his thrilling arias, emotional duets and powerful choruses.
A Little Night Music - Stephen Sondheim
Don't miss Sigrid Thornton performing the hit song 'Send in the Clowns' in this Tony Award-winning musical. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, A Little Night Music is an exquisite meditation on love, described by The New York Times as 'sophisticated and enchanting'.
Bliss - Dean/Holden
Directed by Neil Armfield and starring Peter Coleman-Wright, Bliss is a groundbreaking new opera. Based on Peter Carey's darkly comic fable, Bliss charts the adventures of Harry Joy, an advertising executive who, after a close encounter with death, finds himself sucked into a Kafkaesque series of events.
The Marriage of Figaro - Mozart
Mozart's masterpiece takes an intimate look at a microcosm of society: Figaro is a security guard and his fiancée Susanna is a maid in the Almaviva family's mansion. It is up to Figaro to pick his way through a mad day and, hopefully, end up married. Starring Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Peter Coleman-Wright, Taryn Fiebig and Rachelle Durkin.
The Girl of the Golden West - Puccini
The Girl of the Golden West is a mixture of the Old World and New. The setting is the stuff of Hollywood westerns, yet it has the ingredients of Italian opera and the music has a startling originality. Lisa Gasteen, Dennis O'Neill and John Wegner star in Puccini's grand drama.
Manon - Massenet
Never was innocence lost and love betrayed with such elegance. Stuart Maunder's award-winning production of Massenet's Manon returns with a singer whose star just keeps rising, the lovely Amelia Farrugia, in the title role. Internationally renowned Australian tenor Julian Gavin plays Des Grieux, the love of her life.
A Midsummer Night's Dream - Benjamin Britten
Inspired by Shakespeare's poetry and Benjamin Britten's music, visionary director Baz Luhrmann dreamt up a colour drenched realm of midsummer magic where Indian gods, British colonials and rustic clowns collided, colluded and sometimes fell in love. Come prepared to laugh and cry.
The Pirates of Penzance - Gilbert & Sullivan
Anthony Warlow dons his cutlass as Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance sails back into town. This is your chance to see a foot-stomping, wise-cracking, feel-good show the whole of Australia loved. Bring the family to enjoy favourites like: Poor wand'ring one and Hurrah for the Pirate King.
Rigoletto - Verdi
Opera Australia welcomes one of Britain's most distinguished baritones, Alan Opie to make his Australian role debut as Rigoletto. Verdi paints the characters transformations with a cascade of brilliant arias and ensembles, from the heartbreaking Pari siamo! to the wickedly jaunty La donna è mobile.
Der Rosenkavalier - R. Strauss
Strauss's rapturous tale of life, love and the passage of time is back with Cheryl Barker singing her first Marschallin in this classic production of Der Rosenkavalier. The words are bittersweet; the music finds timeless and complex beauty in a Viennese waltz and heartache in a simple song.
La Sonnambula
Opera Australia presents its first production of Bellini's La sonnambula. Maestro Richard Bonynge conducts soprano Emma Matthews as the sleeping songbird Amina. This elegant new production is inspired by the writings of Freud and Jung, the vibrant colours of German Expressionist art and Bellini's exhilarating tumble of sweet melodies.
Tosca - Puccini
'I lived for art, I lived for love, I never harmed a living soul ' Puccini s great aria, Vissi d'arte, is a moment when time stands still. Who could resist such a heart breaking appeal? And who could resist the glorious voice of Nicole Youl in Opera Australia's first new production of Puccini's Tosca for nearly thirty years?
