Opera Australia 2019

[sydneyboy]

Opera Australia have announced their 2019 Sydney season.

New Productions: ''Wozzeck'' (a co production with the Salzburg Festival and the Met), ''Madama Butterfly'' (with Karah Son and Hyeseoung Kwon alternating in the lead), ''Anna Bolena'' (with Ermonela Jaho and Sonia Ganassi, a very strong double) and ''Il Viaggio A Reims'' (with a large cast of imports and locals). I should also add ''West Side Story'', this years money making offering.

Revivals: ''Turandot'' (with Amber Wagner and Yonghoon Lee), ''Werther'' (with Michael Fabiano and Elena Maximova), ''Salome'' (with Lise Lindstrom), ''The Marriage of Figaro'' (with multiple casts of imports and locals) and ''La Boheme'' (with Joyce El-Khoury and Ivan Magri in the first cast).

Last but by no means least 2 concert performances of ''Andrea Chenier'' with Jonas Kaufmann, Eva-Marie Westbroek and Ludovic Tezier.

All in all not a bad selection.

I will be in Sydney December 19, 20 and 21. Any opera/theater recommendations would be welcome.
