OPERA WEEKENDS WIH OPERA AUSTRALIA

Federation Square, Melbourne

Patricia’s weekends have been very popular for many years. Meeting the artists over lunch or dinner is always a great treat as we hear the story from backstage! Enjoy three contrasting operas in one weekend!

The Pearlfishers by Bizet with international New Zealand bass, the ever popular Jud Arthur

“Long, long ago on the shores of the Indian Ocean two men make a solemn promise. Zurga and Nadir will be friends forever. They will be united in having loved and lost the beautiful Leila. But will they keep their promise?”

Macbeth by Verdi with Jud Arthur as Banquo

“A rough brew of the psychological, political and supernatural. When witches predict a great future for Macbeth he is shocked, but his wife is elated and wants to hasten fate along.”

La bohème by Puccini

“Berlin in the 1930s. The Spiegeltent’s fairy lights are twinkling and the music is playing but, in reality, people are hungry and cold. The world is changing and love won’t pay the rent. A new production.”

Of Mice and Men by Carlisle Floyd with Jud Arthur

“Film director Bruce Beresford explores New World opera in this important new production. Based on John Steinbeck’s novella set in California during the Great Depression, the opera is full of humanity, underscored by a richly nuanced orchestral sound.”

La bohème by Puccini

“Berlin in the 1930s. The Spiegeltent’s fairy lights are twinkling and the music is playing but, in reality, people are hungry and cold. The world is changing and love won’t pay the rent. A new production.”

The Merry Widow by Franz Lehar

“This Viennese favourite waltzes into Sydney in a flurry of ball gowns and fans, top hats and tails. The diplomats are desperate, the financiers are flapping and the markets are melting down. Only one thing can save the Kingdom of Pontevedro from imminent bankruptcy.”
