The Aurora Opera House is Victoria, will be presenting a new production of La Bohème during Opera Month in Gozo.
Georgian-born world-class soprano Nino Machaidze will be heading this year’s cast as Mimi in La Bohème.
The Aurora said that at only 36 years of age, her name already appears at the world’s two greatest and most prestigious opera houses – Milan’s La Scala and New York’s Metropolitan Opera House and her CV already includes outstanding collaborations with Gheorghiu, Domingo, Villazon, Netrebko, Mastrangelo, Gatti, Oren and Chailly.
This exponential career, powered by her charming looks and compelling acting skills, has earned Machaidze the nickname of “The Angelina Jolie of Opera” by the international press.
The Aurora said that another Puccini favourite is entrusted in the hands of stage director Vivien Hewitt and artistic director and conductor Colin Attard and celebrated couturier Luke Azzopardi.
The Aurora’s “new Bohéme” will be set in the 1880’s Paris of Puccini – “The City of Light,” a metropolis with bustling streets and a huge amount of night life and street entertainment, very similar to Puccini’s Milan, it said.
Other members are -Ivan Defabiani, one of the foremost exciting emerging tenors and Leo Nucci’s protégé will be Rodolfo, Krum Galabov will be Marcello, Enrico Marabelli will be Schaunard and Mariano Buccino will be Colline.
Flair and glamour, on the other hand, are set to come about with Maria Novella Malfatti’s interpretation of Musetta. Dario Giorgelé will play the double role of Benoit and Alcindoro while Gozitan young tenor Angelo Muscat will appear as Parpignol.
La Bohème’s single performance at the Aurora, will run on Saturday 12th October 2019 at 7.30pm. Tickets at €50, €60 and €80 are available online by clicking here, or via the ticket helpline +356 79045779. To order compliments for the evening please click here.
