PROGRAM | OPERA GALA I
WELCOME
Welcome to Opera Gala, we are delighted you could join us!
I have always enjoyed a love affair with opera (I even married a soprano!) Big tunes,
lush orchestrations, and emotions that go to the very core of what it means to be human.
After all, which art form can claim more humanity than that of the unamplified human
voice, honed after years of endeavour to soar over an orchestra, another great invention
of human civilisation. The voice and the orchestra combine to tell stories whose universality
has the power to speak to people from all over the world, from all walks of life. I’ve
performed opera all over the world but it’s always special to perform at home in my native
Queensland. In this gala, you’ll hear some perennial opera favourites but I’m also excited
to share with you some rarities that, to my knowledge, have never before been performed
in this country. The one thing all these works have in common, performed by four of our
greatest singers and the wonderful Brisbane Chorale, is their ability to entertain, move
and transform. I hope you enjoy this operatic offering as much as we all on stage do.

Bizet
Carmen
L'amour est un oiseau (Habanera)
Votre toast/Toreador, en garde! (Toreador Song)
Carmen is the most popular opera on the planet. It is to opera what Les Misérables is
to the musical, what Beethoven’s Fifth is to the symphony or what Elvis Presley is to the
history of rock and roll. The tragic irony is that Bizet did not even live to see Carmen
complete its original run, and died believing the opera was a failure.
The story of the fatal attraction between a reckless free spirit and a petulant mamma’s
boy (which is pretty much how Don José is perceived these days) is bursting with
memorable music. Today you hear two of its great entrance arias: Carmen’s immortal
Habañera, an incendiary dissertation on the nature of love, and profound insight into her
character. Then Escamillo swaggers as only a bullfighter can in the Toreador’s Song, one
of the world’s most famous tunes, now associated with everything from roller doors to
the Geelong Football Club.
