Opera at the Vanguard
King Street becomes the new home of affordable opera.
Overview
Opera has been badged as an art form only accessible to a certain group of people. However, plenty of opera fans and makers are determined to introduce it a broader audience — think Sydney's recent production of Carmen, set on the harbour, or Sydney Chamber Opera's smaller scale, surprising shows. This same drive is behind Opera at the Vanguard, the latest contemporary operatic offering in Sydney.
The intimate Vanguard provides its audience with an up-close perspective of the emotional power inherent in opera. Audiences can expect to hear classics such as 'Nessun Dorma' and 'E la solita storia del pastore' from experienced Opera Australia performers Warren Fisher, Katie Stenzel, Agnes Sarkis and Simon Halligan. All costumes in the performance are inspired by the late Alexander McQueen, adding to the grandeur and spectacle of the event.
Crucially, Opera at the Vanguard is making opera affordable, with GA tickets just $33.80. It is only on for five nights though, so whether you are an operatic newcomer or a lifelong fan, get in quick.
