The Opera Show
|
"The show was marvellous, breathtaking and brilliant! To say that we were all blown away in amazement and rapture would be a huge understatement."- Caroline Frith, Glen Parva
THE OPERA SHOW presents the most beautiful music ever written exquisitely performed in a spectacular and exuberant 21st century showcase. Mitch Sebastian's ravishing production is startling and fresh a vivid MTV-style presentation with dazzling choreography animating great works of classical music. The result is an enchanted world where thrilling music is brought to life in an alluring, playful and electrifying evening that will delight opera enthusiasts and newcomers alike. It was created by an eclectic team of theatre artists, stylists, designers and classical musicians and features a high-calibre performing company of 4 vocalists, 5 dancers and 8 musicians. Premiering in England in 2008, the show is presented in three acts, each with its own distinct visual and musical personality. The show is anchored by a collection of well known arias sung by consummate vocalists. These pieces are presented outside their narrative context but inside a series of visual allegories that burst forth onto the stage like an exceptionally vivid dream. Be one of the first to see this immaculate world of costumes, scenery, and song as THE OPERA SHOW tours the United States for the first time ever!
