Opera Australia's new Turandot succeeds with musical, dramatic and visual values with a mix of local and imported talent. 

Director Constantine Costi updates the action  of Mozart's Singspiel to a secluded cross between a cult headquarters and a nightclub. 

Nicole Car makes her role debut as Dvořák's Rusalka in a production by Sarah Giles that proves a winner. 

Danielle de Niese's assumes the title role at the Sydney Opera House, leading an impressive cast with an interesting approach to characterisation with a somewhat over the top blingy setting. 

Emotions on stage are matched by those rising from the pit as Sarah Giles' popular production returns to Sydney. 

Sarah Giles' new production replaces Elijah Moshinsky's venerable staging, and the talented cast delivers a successful performance.
