Artiste: Alexia Voulgaridou

Una Madama Butterfly que se va transformando, como auténtica mariposa, entre un acto y otro con la expresividad genuina de la soprano griega Alexia Voulgaridou.

Tosca’s popularity stems not only from its music, but also from the inherent truth in its drama and its in-depth portrayal of unrestrained human passions. 

In this anti-realistic, colourful and beautifully played production of Pagliacci, the director extends the concept expressed in the Prologue: clowns are real life people, but also real life people are clowns in a larger play.

I’ve never been to a sing-along Sound of Music, but apparently audience etiquette requires pantomime booing of the Nazis. More than a few attendees at the opening night of Opera Australia’s new production of Tosca responded in a similar fashion at the curtain call, and it had nothing to do with a generally excellent performance. For yes, there were Nazis.
