 Sydney Opera House: Opera TheatreThe Pirates of Penzance |
Opera Australia |

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Friday 3-Sep-10 07:30pm The Pirates of Penzance Some pirates sail the Caribbean. Some search for buried treasure. Some do all kinds of terrible deeds, but not these ones. Prepare to meet the soppiest, silliest set of pirates that ever were, led by a Pirate King who loves to sing. The inimitable Anthony Warlow dons his cutlass for another voyage as The Pirates of Penzance sails back into town. Gilbert and Sullivan's fifth collaboration has long been high on the list of all-time favourites, but no one could have predicted the runaway success of this production, directed by Stuart Maunder and designed by Roger Kirk. A foot-stomping, wisecracking, feel-good show, it has played to packed houses around the country and beyond and now returns, complete with its crazy cartoons, swashbuckling heroes and dainty heroines, to the place it all began. | ||

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Tuesday 14-Sep-10 07:30pm New Production Figaro is a security guard and his fiancée Susanna is a maid in the Almaviva family's lavish mansion. Everyone knows everyone inside the gated compound, and everyone is watching. There is plenty to see. Count Almaviva is in lust with Susanna, the Countess is in tears and Cherubino's hormones are getting him into trouble again. It is up to Figaro to pick his way through a mad day and, hopefully, end up married. Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro has appeared in many guises since this Company first presented it. Directors from John Copley to Tim Albery to Neil Armfield have all offered unique interpretations of this multifaceted work, and it is in the spirit of this bold tradition that Opera Australia presents a new Figaro from one of the most exciting directors working in Australia today.

If only the moment could last forever… Strauss's rapturous tale of life, love and the passage of time is back with a new Marschallin gliding her way through this classic production. After an award winning portrayal in Strauss's Arabella, everyone is waiting to hear Cheryl Barker sing her first Marschallin.This is it. The Marschallin has kindly offered Octavian as the Rosenkavalier, the knight who is to present a silver rose to Baron Ochs's fiancée, Sophie. A fine gesture, except that Octavian is far more loveable than Sophie's bovine betrothed, Baron Ochs. One look, and Sophie and Octavian have fallen for each other. So where does this leave Ochs and the Marschallin?

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Saturday 9-Oct-10 07:30pm New Production Figaro is a security guard and his fiancée Susanna is a maid in the Almaviva family's lavish mansion. Everyone knows everyone inside the gated compound, and everyone is watching. There is plenty to see. Count Almaviva is in lust with Susanna, the Countess is in tears and Cherubino's hormones are getting him into trouble again. It is up to Figaro to pick his way through a mad day and, hopefully, end up married. Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro has appeared in many guises since this Company first presented it. Directors from John Copley to Tim Albery to Neil Armfield have all offered unique interpretations of this multifaceted work, and it is in the spirit of this bold tradition that Opera Australia presents a new Figaro from one of the most exciting directors working in Australia today.

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Wednesday 13-Oct-10 07:00pm As the morning sunlight streams into her boudoir Marie Therese, Princess von Werdenberg the Marschallin embraces her young lover, Octavian. If only the moment could last forever… Strauss's rapturous tale of life, love and the passage of time is back with a new Marschallin gliding her way through this classic production. After an award winning portrayal in Strauss's Arabella, everyone is waiting to hear Cheryl Barker sing her first Marschallin.This is it. The Marschallin has kindly offered Octavian as the Rosenkavalier, the knight who is to present a silver rose to Baron Ochs's fiancée, Sophie. A fine gesture, except that Octavian is far more loveable than Sophie's bovine betrothed, Baron Ochs. One look, and Sophie and Octavian have fallen for each other. So where does this leave Ochs and the Marschallin?

The inimitable Anthony Warlow dons his cutlass for another voyage as The Pirates of Penzance sails back into town. Gilbert and Sullivan's fifth collaboration has long been high on the list of all-time favourites, but no one could have predicted the runaway success of this production, directed by Stuart Maunder and designed by Roger Kirk. A foot-stomping, wisecracking, feel-good show, it has played to packed houses around the country and beyond and now returns, complete with its crazy cartoons, swashbuckling heroes and dainty heroines, to the place it all began. | ||
