SUMMARY:Opera Australia: The Phantom of the Opera
DESCRIPTION:Experience the phenomenon of one of the most successful musicals of all time\, when Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary show comes to Melbourne. \n\n\n\n\nHit after hit punctuates the thrilling score\, from the stunning romance of ‘Music of the Night’\, ‘Think of Me’ and ‘All I Ask of You’ to the splendid ‘Masquerade’ and brilliant title song. \nNow\, you can hear them all in a spectacular new production that has stunned critics across the United Kingdom and North America. It features new direction by Laurence Connor\, new scenic design by Paul Brown\, lighting design by Tony Award®-winner Paule Constable\, sound design by Mick Potter\, new choreography by Scott Ambler and the original\, Tony Award-winning costume design by Maria Björnson. \nOverseen by Cameron Mackintosh and Matthew Bourne\, the “simply epic” new staging includes many special effects\, from the famous chandelier to the underground lake\, and a large cast and orchestra. It’s “bigger and better than ever before” (Yorkshire Post)\, “stunning\, intense and spectacular” (Sunday Express). \nThe Phantom of the Opera haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House. He’s man and mystery\, a deformed genius. And in Christine Daae\, he’s found his angel of music: the young woman he would make a star. But how many lives will he sacrifice to make the music of the night? \nPerformance dates & times\n\n\nFrom 2 November 2022 \nPreviews: Wednesday 2 Nov & Thursday 3 Nov 7:30 PM \n\nSeason: until February 5\, 2023\n\nTuesdays1:00 PM*\, 7:30 PM\n\n\nWednesdays 1:00 PM\, 7:30 PM\n\n\nThursdays 1:00 PM*\, 7:30 PM\n\n\nFridays 7:30 PM\n\n\nSaturdays 2:00 PM\, 7:30 PM\n\n\nSundays 1:00 PM\, 7:30 PM**\n\n*Selected dates only.

SUMMARY:Ferruccio Furlanetto in Concert
DESCRIPTION:With a voice that speaks volumes in every note\, Ferruccio Furlanetto is one of the greatest basses of our time.\nOver five decades\, Ferruccio Furlanetto has become one of the world’s most sought after singers. Renowned for his vast range\, thundering vocal power and masterful acting\, he has performed on opera’s finest stages from Milan\, Paris and Vienna to London and New York\, collaborating with leading orchestras and conductors including Herbert von Karajan\, Sir Georg Solti and the legendary Leonard Bernstein. \nThroughout his acclaimed international career\, Furlanetto has made Verdi’s heroes his own\, dominating the titular Attila and Filippo in Don Carlo. At Melbourne’s Arts Centre\, he was unforgettable as the quixotic Don Quichotte and\, at St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre\, he was the first Italian bass to appear in the title role of Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov and as Prince Gremin in Eugene Onegin. Here\, the focus on vocal ability is singular. For Furlanetto\, recitals provide ‘the possibility to paint with the colours of our voice and our intentions… creating images and feelings that will stay in the heart and not in the eyes’. \nAccompanied by pianist Natalia Sidorenko\, Furlanetto traverses the emotional landscape of Brahms\, Mussorgsky and Rachmaninov before filling Melbourne Recital Centre with beloved bass arias from The Marriage of Figaro\, Don Giovanni\, Boris Godunov and Don Carlo. \n\nWednesday 1 June 2022 7.30pm – MRC\, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall \nDuration: 2 hours (incl. interval) \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\nPremium $149 ($134 Concession)\nA Reserve $119 ($107 Concession)\nB Reserve $79 ($71 Concession)\nC Reserve $59 ($53 Concession)

SUMMARY:Opera Australia: Mefistofele in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Come dance with the devil in this garden of demonic delights. \n\n\n\n\nMefistofele has made a bargain with God that he does not intend to lose: he can win Faust’s soul for himself. Disillusioned with his own life\, Faust makes his famous pact\, and embarks on a journey through life’s wildest pleasures with the devil himself. But it’s not just Faust’s soul that hangs in the balance … and this bargain has some unexpected losers. \nRenowned for his work as a librettist for Verdi\, Boito left only one complete opera: Mefistofele. It is a distinctive\, lush work\, full of stunning choral pieces\, magnificent orchestration and one of the great bass-baritone roles. \nFerruccio Furlanetto incarnates the devil himself\, Mefistofele. Leah Crocetto soars as the beautiful Margherita and Diego Torre gives us Faust at his most disillusioned. \nHear the Opera Australia Chorus in all its glory celebrating both the sacred and profane\, and the magnificent sound of Orchestra Victoria in this rare concert performance of Boito’s work. \nSensational young maestro Andrea Battistoni conducts. \nPerformance dates & times\n\n\n\nWednesday 25 May 7:00 PM\n\n\nFriday 27 May 7:00 PM\n\n\nRunning TimeApproximately 2 hours and 40 minutes (including one interval) \n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\nStandard $59.00 – $195.00\n\n\nChild $30.00 – $98.00\n\n\nPensioner $53.00 – $176.00\n\n\nStudent $53.00 – $176.00\n\n\nGroups 8+ $50.00 – $166.00

SUMMARY:Opera Australia: Lohengrin
DESCRIPTION:In a romance of mythical proportions\, our Knight of the Swan rescues his damsel asking only one thing in return…\nElsa stands accused of a horrible crime. She prays for a champion\, and a noble knight appears. But his help comes with a condition: she must never ask his name. Does true love demand blind faith? \nLohengrin is a fantastical romance. It’s filled with shimmering string passages and angelic choruses\, including the famous Bridal March. Wagner described his music as “streams of gold\, ravishing the senses of the beholder”. \nThe world’s most in-demand singer — Jonas Kaufmann— is the noble Lohengrin. \nEvery Kaufmann performance is a once-in-a-lifetime experience\, and this marks the first time ever the German tenor will perform a fully staged opera in Australia.Kaufmann as Lohengrin is “in a class of his own\, totally involved and giving a masterclass of daringly varied\, sometimes mannered\, vocal technique” (The Guardian). \nJoined by a brilliant cast including Emily Magee as Elsa\, Elena Gabouri as Ortrud\, and Simon Meadows performs as the deceived Telramund. \nDirector Olivier Py sets this battle between good and evil in the ruins of Berlin in the aftermath of World War II. A monumental revolving tiered set depicts a decaying theatre\, where emblems of German Romanticism gather dust. \n\nVENUE\n\nState Theatre\, Arts Centre Melbourne\n100 St Kilda Road\, Melbourne \n\n\n\nLANGUAGE\n\nSung in German with English surtitles. \n\n\n\nRUNNING TIME\n\nApproximately 4 hours and 20 minutes\, including two intervals. \ntickets from $149

SUMMARY:Opera Australia: Lohengrin
DESCRIPTION:In a romance of mythical proportions\, our Knight of the Swan rescues his damsel asking only one thing in return…\nElsa stands accused of a horrible crime. She prays for a champion\, and a noble knight appears. But his help comes with a condition: she must never ask his name. Does true love demand blind faith? \nLohengrin is a fantastical romance. It’s filled with shimmering string passages and angelic choruses\, including the famous Bridal March. Wagner described his music as “streams of gold\, ravishing the senses of the beholder”. \nThe world’s most in-demand singer — Jonas Kaufmann— is the noble Lohengrin. \nEvery Kaufmann performance is a once-in-a-lifetime experience\, and this marks the first time ever the German tenor will perform a fully staged opera in Australia.Kaufmann as Lohengrin is “in a class of his own\, totally involved and giving a masterclass of daringly varied\, sometimes mannered\, vocal technique” (The Guardian). \nJoined by a brilliant cast including Emily Magee as Elsa\, Elena Gabouri as Ortrud\, and Simon Meadows performs as the deceived Telramund. \nDirector Olivier Py sets this battle between good and evil in the ruins of Berlin in the aftermath of World War II. A monumental revolving tiered set depicts a decaying theatre\, where emblems of German Romanticism gather dust. \n\nVENUE\n\nState Theatre\, Arts Centre Melbourne\n100 St Kilda Road\, Melbourne \n\n\n\nLANGUAGE\n\nSung in German with English surtitles. \n\n\n\nRUNNING TIME\n\nApproximately 4 hours and 20 minutes\, including two intervals. \ntickets from $149

SUMMARY:Tosca: Opening night
DESCRIPTION:Opera Australia’s new season of Tosca runs from 12 November – 13 December at the Arts Centre. For full details go to www.opera.org.au \n“Vissi d’arte\, vissi d’amore\,” Tosca bemoans her fate. “I lived for art; I lived for love.” \nJohn Bell\, the Australian doyen of Shakespeare\, has transplanted Tosca’s story to 1943\, when Mussolini’s successors abandoned Rome to the invading German armies.  Michael Scott-Mitchell’s sets recreate the radiant\, baroque interior of  Sant’Andrea della Valle church and\, in cruel contrast\, the grim\, fascist architecture of Scarpia’s headquarters. \n  \n\n\n\nTosca\nMartina Serafin (until 29 November)\nJacqueline Mabardi\n\n\nCavaradossi\nDiego Torre\n\n\nScarpia\nClaudio Sgura\n\n\n\n
