Opera: did you know?
Opera creates exhilarating experiences through its perfect fusion of music, singing, acting, staging and design.
Opera is storytelling through music. It is the stuff of life; love, death, loss, passion, joy, anger.
What audiences experience is only the tip of an iceberg; the culmination of months of rehearsals, training, preparation, dedication, professionalism and creativity from all involved.
