Pinchgut Opera was set up to offer Sydney audiences a different experience of opera.
It presents opera in more intimate settings, where the audience is
closer and more involved than is possible in a conventional opera
house. The most important element in Pinchgut's productions is the
music and the music's immediate impact on the audience. Pinchgut stages
operas that are not regularly heard, but deserve to be.
Chamber opera has a special magic: an intimacy and immediacy
not found in the more elaborate productions of grand opera. Most major
cities of the world have a chamber opera company. Sydney is big enough
and important enough as a living arts city to have its own.
The founders of Pinchgut Opera are a group of professional
musicians, arts administrators and music lovers who discovered they
shared a dream to build something different in the musical life of
Sydney. Pinchgut Opera uses mostly young Australian singers, players,
directors and designers, creating more professional opportunities for
Australian artists and more chances for audiences to see their work.
Harriett Cunningham began her review of Juditha in the Sydney Morning Herald with:
"They've done it again. The bar was already at a dizzy height after last year's Idomeneo, but Pinchgut Opera's 2007 production, Vivaldi's 'sacred military oratorio' Juditha Triumphans, sails over it."
This year we will produce
Joseph Haydn'sL'anima del filosofo - (The Soul of the Philosopher)
