Summer of Opera

A summer filled with music

This summer season brings three special events. Opera in the Park returns for two performances in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, and Hamilton audiences get to attend a special concert as part of Hamilton Arts Festival.

Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!

New Zealand Opera and Opus Orchestra take you on a musical journey celebrating some of opera’s most cherished characters including Figaro, The Countess, and the ever-alluring Susanna!

Hear selections from celebrated operas such as Rossini’s Barber of Seville and Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, each echoing the narratives of Beaumarchais’ comedic novels. With entrancing arias, duets, and trios delivered by our talented soloists and accompanied by Opus Orchestra, this concert is set to be a monumental display of operatic splendour.
