VIVA VERDI!

An opera spectacular! A feast of Verdi's greatest hits.

"…Impassioned, original, imposing and overwhelming…"
Excerpt from a letter by Giuseppe Verdi

An opera tribute like no other, Viva Verdi! presents a spectacular fusion of artistic elements celebrating the power of creativity and honouring the great opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi.

Embark on an opera odyssey into a dreamscape, where Verdi's powerful music is the inspiration and foundation for an entrancing visual extravaganza. Relive some of opera's most epic and well-known works, combined with imaginative design and contemporary media in a show that captures the energy of a rock concert with the essence of grand opera.

Revel in the power of the voice, performing the arias and choruses from AIDA, Otello, Macbeth, La Traviata, Simon Boccanegra, Il Trovatore, Don Carlo and the magnificent Requiem.

Be overwhelmed by a monumental landscape of sculptural costumes, flying forms and dynamic event lighting, from which emerges a story of inspiration, artistic expression and creative exhilaration through design, music and movement.

Viva Verdi! fuses worlds and centuries, one voice and many, one man's genius and many artists' ingenuity, into a tribute celebrating the power of human artistic endeavour.
