As has been the case almost every year for the past decade, Gale Edward’ s celebrated production of La Bohème kicked off the summer season on New Year’s Eve.
Summer will see the welcome return of star American soprano Lise Lindstrom as she reprises the role of Turandot. Otello will have its rescheduled return to the stage with the same powerhouse principal cast of Yonghoon Lee making his role debut as Otello.
La Juive, a co-production with Opera de Lyon directed by the acclaimed Olivier Py, will have its Australian premiere offering audiences the rare treat of two sopranos, two tenors and a world-class bass singing together. The Marriage of Figaro also returns and Russian star Olga Peretyatko will make her Australian debut in a concert version of Maria Stuarda.
Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour stages a brand new version of one of the most successful musicals of all time, Andrew Lloyd Webber’ s The Phantom of the Opera. Director Simon Phillips and designer Gabriela Tylesova will deliver a whole new level of spectacle on the famous overwater stage.
OA will continue its commitment to providing access to opera for everyone, presenting Cinderella to schools across NSW, touring a new production of Rossini’ s The Barber of Seville by director Priscilla Jackman around regional theatres across the country, and staging the Opera Gala in Uluru once again in the heart of Australia.
