NZ Opera 2015 Season
From unbridled joy and fairy-tale frivolity to deep loss and longing; it must be opera!
This is the 2015 Season of your national opera company. No emotion is left unturned in a tide of Puccini and Rossini that surges with some of opera’s most memorable musical masterpieces and stories of self-sacrifice.
We begin in May (Wellington/Auckland) with Rossini’s La cenerentola (Cinderella) – an irresistibly playful, and artful romp based on the Cinderella fairy-tale under the baton of NZO’s Director of Music, maestro Wyn Davies.
In July, we celebrate the rebirth of the beautiful Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch with Kate Cherry’s critically-acclaimed production of Puccini’s heart-rending Madama Butterfly.
The NZO 2015 Season culminates in September/October (Auckland/Wellington) with Tosca – thrilling, passionate and sweeping. Puccini’s magnificent music will be performed by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in Auckland and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in Wellington. As Director Stuart Maunder says, “love, revenge and sacrifice – it has everything!”.
