Opera Australia

Re-imagined as a sumptuous family spectacle, The Magic Flute delights with a cavalcade of glorious images.

Opera Australia presents The Magic Flute, based on the staging by Julie Taymor for the Metropolitan Opera.

Sydney: 5 January - 23 March 2012

Opera Australia’s new production of The Magic Flute had its final dress rehearsal today ahead of opening night this Friday 6 January. The Melbourne season commences on 21 April.

The licentious anti-hero we, for the most part, cannot help being drawn to, Don Giovanni, stalks and weaves his ominous spell once again on the stage of the State Theatre. Opera Australia’s very successful Don Giovanni by Mozart has been resurrected with Teddy Tahu Rhodes storming his way magnificently through this demanding operatic role. It is a captivating performance, passionate, well acted and sung with control and finesse.

Shimmering like a mirage in a landscape of revivals and classics, Of Mice and Men is modern opera at its affecting and accessible best.

Russian Soprano Elvira Fatykhova conquers Melbourne in her debut as Violetta in the eternal classic La Traviata.

A unique mix of operas is set to entertain Melbourne audiences this Spring.

Troubled Spider-Man director Julie Taymor will bring her family-friendly production of The Magic Flute to Australia next year.
