The Verdi Gala Concert
Prepare your heart for the greatest of emotions. Following the sold-out Puccini Gala in 2024, Opera Australia is paying tribute to another Italian opera god: Giuseppe Verdi. Hear hits you love from his most famous operas, alongside some rarely performed music in these very special concerts.
Verdi is one of opera’s most beloved composers, who brought some of the most moving stories ever written to the stage: from the soaring, tragic romance of La Traviata, to the dark melodrama of Rigoletto, and the epic Don Carlo. He set these stories to music of unsurpassed beauty.
Australian opera superstar Nicole Car returns to her hometown with French-Canadian baritone Étienne Dupuis, her husband and an opera superstar in his own right, and celebrated Australian tenor Paul O’Neill.
With Orchestra Victoria out of the pit, and on the stage of Hamer Hall, you’ll hear every rich detail in Verdi’s luscious orchestrations and feel the force of his unforgettable melodies.
