Opera's Heroes and Villains: Senior Vocal Department Concert (Student Concert)
2024-08-02 19:30 - 20:30 UTC | NSW
The concept of “heroes and villains” in opera is a nuanced and multifaceted concept that mirrors the complexities of human nature. In art, literature, and music, we seek reflections of our own experiences, emotions, and moral dilemmas. Opera, with its rich tapestry of music and narrative, delves deeply into this exploration, unraveling the intricate layers of its characters. Through soaring arias and dramatic scores, the boundaries between heroism and villainy blur, prompting us to question: Are there truly pure heroes and unequivocal villains, or does every character embody a blend of virtues and flaws? This opera scenes program invites you to journey through these timeless stories, examining how operatic masterpieces probe the essence of morality and humanity, challenging our perceptions and evoking a deeper understanding of the dualities within us all.

Gods Gone Wild
Forget tragedy – this is Orpheus as you’ve never seen him.
In Offenbach’s satirical operetta, Orpheus and Eurydice aren’t star-crossed lovers, they’re a dysfunctional couple, and neither is particularly sad about their separation. When Eurydice descends into the underworld, it isn’t tragedy that follows, but an all-out divine spectacle. The gods are bored, Hades is throwing a party, and the legendary Can-Can ignites chaos.
A co-production with the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, this riotous, visually spectacular production is helmed by acclaimed director Constantine Costi (La Traviata on Sydney Harbour). Expect razor-sharp wit, dazzling vocal performances, and a whirlwind of divine comedy and devilish fun. This is an unmissable mythological meltdown.
