On April 4th, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of OperaMania, a seamless semi-staged theatrical presentation that toured across Australia in 2013.
The show featured prominent opera compositions, outstanding opera vocalists, graceful ballet dancers, and a 44-member symphony orchestra.
This was the first time any Russian company performed in Australia, with shows held in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Newcastle, and Canberra.
Gennady Polluck produced the performance while Valery Raky conceptualised it, and Alexey Veiro staged it.
OperaMania received rave reviews and was highly regarded by the audience, earning a five-star rating and a standing ovation.
“OperaMania offers a night to enjoy and remember. A mix of opera highlights performed by excellent artists.” — Audrey Ball of Radio 5MBS
As a member of the marketing team, I am proud to have coordinated the marketing and PR-related activities for the show and also had the opportunity to capture some photographs.
