The Auckland Opera Studio, Manukau Symphony Orchestra and Auckland Choral Society present yet another operatic journey rich in emotion and romantic tragedy.

This event follows the highly celebrated Verdi meets Puccini of 2024.

Starting with Verdi's renowned Anvil Chorus, we venture deep into Nineteenth Century Romantic Literature with excerpts from Paliacci, Cavalleria Rusticana, Thais, Faust, Carmen and finally back to yet another of Puccini's great Death scenes, Act 4 of Manon Lescuat.

Conductor: Uwe Grodd
Stage Director: John Davies
Artistic Director: Frances Wilson
