The breathtaking Sydney Harbour serves as a backdrop for a rich and unique staging of an Italian opera masterpiece, inspired by a classic of French literature! Opera Australia invite you to join them for a riveting production of Verdi's La Traviata in a superb mise en scène by Francesca Zambello, which brings the fashion of 1880s Paris to meet the extravagance of metropolitan Australia in the middle of Mardi Gras festivities.

Onstage, we have the great fortune of spending time with star soprano Emma Matthews in the role of Violetta Valery, a popular courtesan who falls in love with the well-bred Alfredo Germont (a brilliant Gianluca Terranova). But Alfredo's father Giorgio, played by the excellent Jonathan Summers, has a vested interest in controlling the romantic liaisons of his son and heir, and does not approve of their entanglement... The pitch-perfect melodrama is adapted from La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas.

Violetta is the life of every party. A courtesan with a heart of gold, she’s free and free-spirited. Could a little love change everything?


Experience the joy and heartache of the world’s most popular opera and the magic of Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. This timeless story plays out on a giant mirrored stage over the water, with the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge acting as the backdrop. A 3.5-tonne chandelier shimmers with 10,000 crystals, and fireworks light up the night sky.



Emma Matthews plays Violetta, scaling the thrilling heights of Verdi’s score, opposite Italian tenor Gianluca Terranova as Alfredo, the man Violetta falls dangerously in love with.



Verdi’s score offers flying melodies, rousing drinking songs and heartbreaking duets, brought to life in director Francesca Zambello’s spectacular and stylish production. Brian Castles-Onion conducts the opera, with a live orchestra hidden under the stage.
