Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | The Opera Studio

Clever casting combined with good singing, classy chorus work and quality ensemble music has produced an enjoyably entertaining Don Pasquale from State Opera of South Australia.

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.

State Opera of South Australia is performing two short pieces, Mozart’s Bastien und Bastienne and the even rarer Offenbach’s La chanson de Fortunio, showcasing several developing young artists.

Emerging artists to the fore as each of these two-handers engage us in differing exposés of puzzles, one comic, one tragic.
