The Puccini Gala Concert
No composer captures emotions like Italian composer, Giacomo Puccini. Experience his finest music in this star-studded concert to mark the centenary of the great composer's passing and to celebrate his contribution to opera.
Puccini was opera’s defining force at the turn of the 20th century. His operas reach deep into your soul and transform you through their humanity and beautiful music. They’re still amongst the most-performed today: La Bohème, Turandot, Tosca and Madama Butterfly. No other composer captures the rush of true love, the thrill of discovering something new, or the force of tragedy like Puccini.
Homegrown superstar, Nicole Car, and one of the world’s most popular tenors, Joseph Calleja, are joined by a fabulous cast of singers, including Peter Coleman-Wight AO and Julie Lea Goodwin. Swoon to the arias and duets you know and love, alongside lesser-known gems from his extraordinary operas, performed by some of our greatest singers along with Orchestra Victoria.
