The shows will feature a collective cast of 86 international performers, including Melbourne’s own Nicole Car and music by Orchestra Victoria
120 years after its premiere, La Bohème remains one of the world favourite operas, continuing to inspire adaptations including the musical Rent and the movie Moulin Rouge. It is the perfect production if you are new to opera or a seasoned connoisseur, with costumes, sets and a cast that is set to impress.
Originally known as the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust, July marks 60 years since Opera Australia staged its first production, and their Autumn season offers three distinct opera experiences to suit a range of audiences.
