Aida on Sydney Harbour
Encore screening. Handa Opera perform Verdi’s masterpiece to the backdrop of Sydney Opera House.
Verdi masterfully puts the intimate affairs of the heart against the grandeur of the universe - where kingdoms rise and fall and the sands of time grind onwards.
Amid all of the spectacle, the famous 'Triumphal March', battle scenes and ancient temples, there's an emotional heart.
Performed in Italian with English translations
WHY? There could be no grander setting for such an opera than Sydney Harbour itself, awash with the light of the city and the Sydney Opera House silhouetted against the setting sun
