Jessica Pratt performs an extraordinary rendition of 'Ah! non giunge' from La Sonnambula at Teatro Massimo, Palermo in 2021.

Jessica will perform this piece as part of her one-night-only 'Mad Scenes' concert in Sydney on 3 August 2023. The concert is part of the Sydney Opera House's 50th anniversary program.

Jessica Pratt | 'Ah! non giunge' from La Sonnambula

Feel the wind on the wing of madness.

A soprano – solo in the spotlight – vocally and emotionally crumbles into madness before your eyes. Favoured by the likes of Bellini, Verdi and Donizetti, ‘mad scenes’ evoke some of the most dramatic, heartbreaking and impressive moments in opera. Euphoric highs and spiralling descents show off a virtuosa’s prowess.

Hailed by the New York Times as a soprano of “gleaming sound, free and easy high notes, agile coloratura runs and lyrical grace”, Australia’s own Jessica Pratt is considered one of the world’s foremost bel canto interpreters. She is best known for making Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor her own, taking his dangerously unhinged bride around the world in over 100 performances.


Special offer: Free CD with every ticket purchase*
As a special gift from Jessica, all Mad Scenes purchasers will receive a complimentary advance copy of her new album ‘Delirio’ ahead of its release in September.

*Terms and conditions apply
This offer is only available to ticket purchasers of Mad Scenes with Jessica Pratt on Thursday 3 August 2023 at the Sydney Opera House. The complimentary CD is limited to one CD per purchaser. The CD will be available for collection at the Sydney Opera House on the evening of the concert. Subject to availability.

THE COSTUMES
These costumes are inspired by the extraordinary music and characters of Mad Scenes. They will be worn during the concert.


Now, discover the method in her madness. This one-night-only showcase of ‘mad scenes’ gives Jessica an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate dramatic range and vocal acrobatics as part of the Sydney Opera House’s 50th birthday celebrations.

In a performance laced with passion and poignancy, Jessica takes on the most challenging arias of the bel canto repertoire with incomparable precision and conviction.

Whether singing in the languages of unrequited love, jealous rage, or haunted delusion, Jessica teases out the moments that propel each heroine to the mind’s edge.
