Fasten your seat belts, this is opera like you’ve never seen before: Jonathan Dove’s Flight lands exclusively in Adelaide for only 3 performances at Her Majesty’s Theatre.
Flight is the most successful opera of the last century, performed all over the world. This acclaimed production comes to Adelaide from the UK, where audience and critics raved about its clever libretto and catchy score.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “First Class entertainment” – Bachtrack
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Brilliantly witty” – The Times
“Soars above the ordinary” – The Guardian
It’s performed in English, so if you are new to opera or you’d like to take someone who is, it’s the perfect one to start with.
It is often compared to Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, because of its hummable tunes, comedic moments, and relatable characters. Let’s be honest, who hasn’t been stuck at the airport and wondered about who the people around them are and what their story is?
It features a star cast performing alongside the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra: with James Laing, Anna Voshege, Nina Korbe, Henry Choo, Cherie Boogaart, Ashlyn Tymms, Samuel Dale Johnson, Jeremy Tatchell, Fiona McArdle and Teddy Tahu Rhodes, you can bet the notes will be flying off the charts! Our team are the athletes of the vocal world, literally throwing their voice over the orchestra, into the auditorium, without any amplication!
It’s going to be a special night at the opera: laugh-out-loud and heart-warming, thought-provoking and energising, zingy and poetic. Don’t miss it.
