Launching our 2009 Opera Season in Wellington next month is Rossini's comic masterpiece The Italian Girl in Algiers. Directed by Auckland Theatre Company's Colin McColl, this daring new production promises a night full of surprises.
Eugene Onegin packs a dramatic and visual punch. The ball scene in Act III is one of opera's most magnificent and sumptuous creations - a perfect snapshot of life among St Petersburg's wealthy elite. This production captures the essence of that priviledged world in all its glory and despair.
