Atilla
 

History’s most barbaric king meets his match

VERDI: Attila | Conductor Andrea Battistoni | Director Davide Livermore

A highlight of the season will be the triumphant return of Verdi’s Attila, following its suspension last year after only two critically acclaimed performances due to COVID. Known for his work with Opera Australia’s digital production of Aida, Italian director Davide Livermore’s colossal staging, including two live horses, combines with exceptional singers and Verdi’s soaring music and gripping story, to ensure Attila is nothing short of epic.

Opera Australia favourites, Natalie Aroyan and Diego Torre will reprise their roles as Odabella and Foresto. Alexander Vinogradov will make his Sydney Opera House debut as the titular King of the Huns, Attila, and Marco Vratogna will return to play the determined Roman General Ezio.

29 June – 10 July 2021

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
