An opera hit parade
Opera Australia wraps all your favourite arias in shiny foil and presents them in a special bon bon box in this series of greatest hits from the world’s best loved operas. Great Opera Hits features pieces performed by Australia’s premium opera singers in a handful of pared down, relaxed, fun-filled concerts.
Director and host Guy Noble will accompany an all-star rotating cast of OA principal artists on piano. See and hear four elite opera singers out of costume, dropping the drama and singing right at you accompanied simply by piano. Hear tunes made famous in ads, movies, cartoons, and of course, through their own magnificent beauty.
Bizet, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi and more – the best from the best sung by the best: Petah Cavallaro, Genevieve Dickson, Rebecca Gulinello, Celeste Haworth, Simon Kim, Imogen-Faith Malfitano, Haotian Qi, Sophie Salvesani, Esther Song, Thomas Strong, Danita Weatherstone, and Andrew Williams.
Those who love opera will thrill as they recognise the opening bars of one classic tune after another. Those who aren’t au fait with the genre can whet their palate on this curated tasting plate of delicacies.
