| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Friday 7-Jan-11 07:30pm Madama Butterfly has been the start of many a love affair. Even as Cio-Cio-San and Pinkerton are sharing their hopes and dreams, thousands are falling in love with the music, the emotion, the moment – the all enveloping experience that is opera. One of Opera Australia’s most beautiful productions returns, ready to capture your imagination and your heart, whether for the first time or all over again. The sculptural, richly-coloured costumes, gracious choreography and spare elegance of Moffatt Oxenbould’s legendary production complement the lush, romantic sound of Puccini’s score in this living artwork. If you ever needed another reason to see Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Patricia Racette is it. This American soprano is a favourite at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, where her performances of Puccini’s great heroines are legendary. Now she comes to Sydney for one of the toughest roles of them all, the exquisite Cio-Cio-San. She joins a cast of Opera Australia favourites including Rosario La Spina as Pinkerton and Jacqueline Dark as Suzuki, with Philippe Auguin conducting. Later in the season, Antoinette Halloran takes over the title role with David Corcoran as Pinkerton. Performed in Italian with English surtitles. Running time: two hours and forty-five minutes including one twenty-minute interval.

| The Arts Centre, Melbourne, Hamer Hall, 100 St Kilda Road, Melbourne Melbourne Vic 3004, Australia Wednesday 20-Apr-11 07:30pm Macbeth is a rough brew of the psychological, political and supernatural When three witches accost Macbeth and predict great things for the loyal soldier he is shocked but elated. However, his wife cannot resist making a murderous plan to hasten fate along. As one murder becomes many the once powerful couple become a pawn of ambition, fatally embroiled in their own plot. Bringing this dark tale of death to life is Canadian René Richard Cyr, who makes his directorial debut with Opera Australia with this striking production. A monumental set is transformed by living scenery and a grand chorus, who deliver some of the most powerful moments of the night. Verdi’s music is by turns exhilarating and terrifying, with spine-tingling choruses giving way to intimate arias. Two remarkable singers take on the notoriously difficult roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Michael Lewis and Elizabeth Connell have proved themselves in many Verdi roles, and so it is with great excitement that we look forward to hearing them in this new production. They are joined by Jud Arthur as Banquo and Rosario La Spina as Macduff, with young Australian Verdi expert Simon Hewett conducting. Performed in Italian with English surtitles. Running time: Approximately two hours and thirty five minutes including one twenty-minute interval. A co-production with Opéra de Montréal.

| The Arts Centre, Melbourne, Hamer Hall, 100 St Kilda Road, Melbourne Melbourne Vic 3004, Australia Tuesday 10-May-11 07:30pm Macbeth is a rough brew of the psychological, political and supernatural When three witches accost Macbeth and predict great things for the loyal soldier he is shocked but elated. However, his wife cannot resist making a murderous plan to hasten fate along. As one murder becomes many the once powerful couple become a pawn of ambition, fatally embroiled in their own plot. Bringing this dark tale of death to life is Canadian René Richard Cyr, who makes his directorial debut with Opera Australia with this striking production. A monumental set is transformed by living scenery and a grand chorus, who deliver some of the most powerful moments of the night. Verdi’s music is by turns exhilarating and terrifying, with spine-tingling choruses giving way to intimate arias. Two remarkable singers take on the notoriously difficult roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Michael Lewis and Elizabeth Connell have proved themselves in many Verdi roles, and so it is with great excitement that we look forward to hearing them in this new production. They are joined by Jud Arthur as Banquo and Rosario La Spina as Macduff, with young Australian Verdi expert Simon Hewett conducting. Performed in Italian with English surtitles. Running time: Approximately two hours and thirty five minutes including one twenty-minute interval. A co-production with Opéra de Montréal.
