This mesmerising opera highlights show brings together the most iconic pieces from legendary composers, promising an unforgettable evening of vocal brilliance and emotive storytelling.
Feel the intensity of Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" from the epic opera Turandot, as its powerful notes sweep over you. Delight in the delicate harmonies of Delibes' "Flower Duet" from Lakme, a floral celebration of soprano voices. Mozart's Marriage of Figaro overture sets the tone for comedic intrigue, leading seamlessly to the emotional depth of Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro" from Gianni Schicchi.
The evening continues with the lively overture from Rossini's Barber of Seville, followed by Verdi's spirited "La donna e mobile" from Rigoletto. Experience the seductive allure of Bizet's Habanera from Carmen before being serenaded by Puccini's heartrending arias, "Un Bel Di Vedremo" from Madame Butterfly and "E Lucevan le Stelle" from Tosca.
Join us for a Night at the Opera, where each piece is a precious gem, meticulously chosen to showcase the depth and diversity of the operatic experience. Let the melodies resonate in your heart and soul, as the performers transport you to a world of passion, drama, and exquisite musicality.
