Performer: Beau Sandford

Manuel de Falla’s rarely performed La Vida Breve and Giacomo Puccini’s comic Gianni Schicchi are quite contrasting mini-operas, united by common threads of deception and the clash of class distinction.

Die Fledermaus is full of beautiful music, outrageous situations and lots of comic opportunities. This production captures it all with a contemporary idiom and a Beverly Hills setting.

There are Australian accents and idioms aplenty in this exciting new State Opera of South Australia opera being premiered in Adelaide.
