Highlights of Ms Davies’ 2024 Sydney Winter Season include Australian composer Brett Dean’s internationally acclaimed Hamlet starring British tenor Allan Clayton, renowned Australian director Neil Armfield’s production of Watershed, and Sydney Theatre Company’s Artistic Director Kip Williams’ new production of Gilgamesh, along with new productions of Tosca and II Trittico.

　　Ms Davies’ reputation as a strong advocate for gender equality has carried over to her new role with OA, increasing the percentage of female creatives across the board with Francesca Zambello returning to direct West Side Story on Sydney Harbour, BAFTA winning costume designer Fotini Dimitou bringing her design eye to Tosca, director Imara Savage will be joined by lighting designer Verity Hampson on II Trittico.

　　OA will present several new works in partnership with local arts organisations including Carriageworks and the Sydney Opera House as well as the Australian String Quartet and Ensemble Offspring. 2024 will also mark the first time OA joins forces with Sydney Chamber Opera, which is renowned for achieving new visions with contemporary opera.

　　Opera Australia is touring a new production of La Bohème around the country, and introducing an all-new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard starring one of music theatre’s true icons Sarah Brightman.
