Description
Operantics presents a sparkling double bill of The Impresario by Mozart and Prima la musica, e poi le parole by Salieri at The Eternity Playhouse this March!Originally commissioned to be in competition with one another in the Viennese court, these sharp, fast-paced comedies turn opera back on itself, skewering artistic egos, rivalries, and the eternal tug-of-war between music and text. Full of vocal fireworks and theatrical wit, has much has changed in the world of opera?
Sydney-based not-for-profit opera company Operantics champions chamber-scale opera and art song, creating opportunities for emerging and early-career artists while bringing opera into intimate, contemporary settings.
Directed by Theresa Borg and conducted by Philip Eames, the production features Aidan Hodder, Camilla Wright, Hannah Burton, Matt Gaskin, and Lana Kains, accompanied by a chamber ensemble.
