A Taste of Opera is a series of performances based
on famous operas.
To keep costs low, the number of singers is kept to a bare minimum,
staging and lighting are very simple and accompaniment is provided
by one pianist. In such an uncomplicated theatrical setting, the
singing and the acting are as powerful as ever... if not more so
because of the "singularity" of the performance art.
Try A Taste of Opera and you will want to come back for seconds.

Highlights
of Barber of Seville
|
 |
Following
the extraordinary success of the short Adelaide season of Highlights
of The Barber of Seville last December, the piece will be revived
for one performance in 2010. Andrew Turner's highly comic direction
and the vocal brilliance of the cast (there is no more appropriate
description) ensures the most satisfying night of entertainment
imaginable. |

Highlights
of The Pirates of Penzance
|
 |
Gilbert
and Sullivan never lose their shine. The cunning word play,
the irrevent humour and the sparkling music always provide pleasure.
Co-Opera's singers capture the wit and render the music irresistibly. |

Highlights
of La Bohème
|
 |
The
fun and joie de vivre in the cafe, the nonsensical games in
the garret, the tender love of Rodolfo for Mimi and the sparks
between Musetta and Marcello... and fate's ultimate cruel hand,
combine to make this the quintessential romantic opera. |

Highlights
of Carmen
|
 |
There
is no higher example of true music drama than Bizet's Carmen.
The way the composer depicts the changing fortunes of Don Jose
ensures we experience what he experiences. The picture he paints
of Carmen herself convinces us she is the most alluring yet
independent woman to grace the stage. |

Highlights
of Cosi fan tutte
|
 |
Mozart's
exquisite ensemble opera, Cosi, is a late piece that brings
together the myriad facets of the composer's utter genius. Always
refreshing. Always enchanting. And the ridiculous costume deception
is pure entertainment. It's a privilege to play Mozart. |
