Editor's Choice THE MAGIC FLUTE

State Opera South Australia: The Magic Flute

Her Majesty's Theatre, Adelaide Adelaide, SA, Australia
A new creative partnership with Hong Kong Opera and the Beijing Music Festival opens with a Mozart classic. Staged by film, theatre and opera director Shuang Zou and designed by Dan Potra, it fuses one of the finest scores from Classical-era Vienna with the modern visual culture of the Asia-Pacific to create…
Editor's Choice La Bohème

Opera Australia: La Bohème

Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
Gale Edwards’ tried and trusted production of Puccini’s classic returns to Sydney. Ditching Paris for the seedy world of 1930s Berlin cabarets doesn’t make perfect sense, but it looks good and has stayed the course thanks to a series of well-cast revivals over the years. For this latest outing, Australian…
Editor's Choice La bohème

Opera Queensland: La bohème

QPAC Corner Melbourne St and Grey St, South Bank, QLD, Australia
Giving Opera Australia a run for its money is this co-production between Opera Queensland and West Australian Opera. In a handsome staging, first seen in 2023, director Matt Reuben James Ward sets the opera in 1920s Paris. “Yes, this is possibly the most popular opera ever written, and you’ve probably…

Editor's Choice Carmen

Opera Australia: Carmen

Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
Melbourne Theatre Company Artistic Director Anne-Louise Sarks helms a new production of Bizet’s classic that aims to be “a Carmen for our time”, asking “urgent questions about opera’s iconic femme fatale”. Given her insightful semi-staged take on Missy Mazzoli’s Breaking the Waves last year, she might just do it. An intriguing…
Nabucco

The Cooperative: Nabucco

Pitt Street Uniting Church, Sydney 264 Pitt St, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Golden harp of prophetic bards, why do you hang, silent, from the willow? Reignite memories deep in our chest, and tell us of a time that once was ... Milano, 1842. Not yet afforded nationhood and under the oppression and occupation of a larger, powerful regime, the first audiences of…
