World-wide number #1 opera event of 2012
“World-wide number #1 opera event of 2012″ is exactly what Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour: La Traviata was called by The Guardian. It’s been performed for couple of days already and the feedback from the opera goers has been overwhelming. “The most fantastic setting, interesting production, a wonderful all round experience, an absolute must see” or “Amazing; enjoyed the beautiful setting, the wonderful opera, THE firework. It was well organised. Well done and many thanks for this unique experience.” was just two of the comments about it I found on ticketmaster’s website.
Simon Parris said on Theatrepeople website – “An artistic triumph on every level, La Traviata cements Australia’s position as an international opera destination.”
So what is it all about? What are they all really talking about? It’s an opera by Giuseppe Verdi starring Australian sopranos Emma Matthews, Rachelle Durkin and tenors Gianluca Terranova (from Italy) and Ji-Min Park (from Korea). It’s an opera directed by Francesca Zambello.
The opera is performed in the Sydney Harbour and the stage appears to be afloat, on the water line a forty-piece orchestra is housed, above the stage is a huge chandelier, on the stage 130 performers. To put it all together it also took 240 Opera Australia staff and 60 volunteers.

The opera has been performed nightly since March 24, 2012 and the season is set to be 3 weeks long. If you are interested in seeing something spectacular, whether you are into opera or not, and are close to Sydney, the tickets are still available.
