Festival Opera makes a spectacular return with one of the world’s most celebrated operas, Bizet’s Carmen.
The opera is passionate, exhilarating and moving and brings so many instantly recognisable choruses and melodies to the stage of the Napier Municipal Theatre.
Presented in association with National Youth Opera Aotearoa, the production brings professional artists together with some of Aotearoa’s most exciting emerging operatic talent, alongside community performers, an international creative team and members of Project Prima Volta.
At the heart of Festival Opera is a commitment to exceptional opera made here in Hawke’s Bay, creating opportunities for audiences, young artists and our wider community to experience the scale and power of this life-changing art form.
