2 VICTORIAN OPERA LAUNCHES SEASON 2018 ENCOUNTERS From roaring adventure to seductive siren songs, family classics to never-ending fun, Victorian Opera s Season 2018 Encounters boasts epic Australian premieres and new unlimited Season Passes for audiences aged 30 years and under. Victorian Opera s Season 2018 brings together sublime music with stories of destiny and desire. Celebrating his sixth season at the helm of the company, Victorian Opera s Artistic Director Richard Mills AM reflects on Season 2018: The theatre is a special meeting place where not only audiences and performers but also past and present meet through the rendering of a masterwork. I want to offer audiences a point of difference, the joy of discovery and a chance to encounter something marvellous. One hundred and eighty-nine years after its Paris Opera debut, Rossini s final opera William Tell (Guillaume Tell), famed for its iconic overture, receives its Australian premiere season from July at Palais Theatre, St Kilda. Director Rodula Gaitanou (Royal Opera House, Opera Holland Park) tackles Tell with grit and grandeur in a thrilling new production. Canadian baritone Jean-François Lapointe brings his legendary interpretation of the title role to Melbourne. He is joined by Italian bass Paolo Pecchioli and audience favourites Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Carlos E. Bárcenas, Liane Keegan and Jeremy Kleeman. Victorian Opera is thrilled to present the Australian premiere of Rossini s epic his finest opera. This is a logical extension of Victorian Opera s expertise in and involvement with bel canto repertoire that has been established through our performances of Bellini and Donizetti, said Mills.
3 Following Norma, I Puritani and La Sonnambula, The Capulets and the Montagues (I Capuleti e i Montecchi) marks the finale of Victorian Opera s Bellini concert series on 14 September at Arts Centre Melbourne, Hamer Hall. The rarely-heard masterpiece draws two of Australia s finest singers home as Romeo and Juliet; internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Caitlin Hulcup and superstar soprano Jessica Pratt. The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra travels to Melbourne for the concert conducted by Richard Mills. Mills continued: We re excited by the opportunity to work with mezzo-soprano Caitlin Hulcup and welcome the return of our dear friend Jessica Pratt, a European superstar, for this performance with Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Claude Debussy s hauntingly beautiful Pelleas and Melisande (Pelléas et Mélisande) returns to Melbourne after a long absence from the city s stages. The opera will have two performances only on 11 and 13 October at Palais Theatre, St Kilda. Victorian Opera s Artistic Associate and Executive Producer Elizabeth Hill directs the opera with set and costume design by current Victorian Opera Developing Artist Candice MacAllister. Australian soprano Siobhan Stagg makes her role debut as Melisande alongside celebrated tenor, and veteran Pelleas, Angus Wood is the 100 th anniversary of Debussy s death and this, his only major opera, is a unique gem. It is not often performed and unlike any other opera in the repertoire. It is the perfect vehicle to bring home Siobhan Stagg and Angus Wood; both absolutely ideal for their roles, said Mills. Victorian Opera celebrates its 20 th new work with the world premiere of Lorelei from 3-10 November at Merlyn Theatre, The Coopers Malthouse. Ancient myth meets modern woman in the new production directed by Sarah Giles and composed by Julian Langdon, Casey Bennetto and Gillian Cosgriff. Our commitment to new work is highlighted with the premiere of this opera/cabaret by Julian Langdon, Casey Bennetto and Gillian Cosgriff. It promises to be a hypnotic production bolstered by our enchanting cast of sirens, Mills noted. Adored Australian divas Ali McGregor, Antoinette Halloran and Dimity Shepherd await audiences at the rock for an intoxicating encounter. Children and families will delight in the return of two beloved productions, The Magic Pudding The Opera and Hansel and Gretel. Norman Lindsay s classic storybook The Magic Pudding celebrates its 100 th birthday in 2018, the perfect opportunity to restage Calvin Bowman and Anna Goldsworthy s much-loved adaptation. It will be performed at Arts Centre Melbourne, Playhouse from March before a regional Victorian tour. Engelbert Humperdinck s timeless fairy tale opera Hansel and Gretel will be performed as part of Victorian Opera s Education Program and staged at Arts Centre Melbourne, Playhouse on Saturday 9 June.

The opera will have two performances only on 11 and 13 October at Palais Theatre, St Kilda. When Golaud finds Melisande in the woods, alone and with a mysterious past, he claims her as his wife. After she meets his brother Pelleas, however, a secret love simmers between them while Golaud s suspicions deepen. A family slowly corrodes as their tragic fates inevitably take hold. Following her recent successes in Europe, Australian soprano Siobhan Stagg (Royal Opera House, Deutsche Oper Berlin) makes her role debut as Melisande alongside celebrated tenor, and veteran Pelleas, Angus Wood.

A present-day enchantress, her past is heartbreak and future promises haunting self-discovery. Ancient myth meets modern woman in the new production directed by Sarah Giles and composed by Julian Langdon, Casey Bennetto (Keating!) and Gillian Cosgriff. This siren song finds strength in numbers with a trio of talent so alluring, it s impossible to resist.
