Eleanor Greenwood as Annio, one of the two “pants” roles in the opera.
THE National Opera bursts into being this weekend with Mozart’s “La Clemenza di Tito”, billed as a story of friendship and forgiveness triumphing over jealousy and violence. Former ANU School of Music graduates, mezzo-sopranos Eleanor Greenwood and Catherine Carby, have flown back to Australia to join the cast of top singers assembled by director Peter Coleman-Wright. Toby Cole is chorus master, while rising conductor Leonard Weiss is assisting star conductor Dane Lam. Llewellyn Hall, April 10, 13,15, 17, book here.
