Opera Australia is pleased to announce the return of its Great Opera Hits concert series to complement its 2021 Winter season. Designed to appeal to everyone from opera newbies to longstanding fans, the concerts will be performed in the Sydney Opera House’s Joan Sutherland Theatre over select dates from July to August. Musical masterpieces by the world’s greatest composers, including Bizet, Puccini, Rossini and Verdi, stand alone in a relaxed concert—an ideal first experience of the impact and atmosphere of live opera performance. 

Audiences are guided through the concert by exceptional host and pianist Guy Noble who presents the grandeur of opera in a light-hearted, Australian way-guaranteed to provoke lots of laughs.

Each performance will feature four of OA’s finest principal artists: soprano Anne-Louise Cole, mezzo soprano Sian Sharp, tenor Simon Kim and baritone Luke Gabbedy.
