Spanning almost 300 years of operatic innovation, this Season is filled with stories of transformation and transcendence, many centred on complex, powerful women, and the artists shaping opera’s future today.Whether you’re new to opera or a seasoned fan, there’s something here to challenge, surprise, and treasure.
