THE OPERA SHOW, which begins its inaugural tour to Europe and America in 2009, blends the audacious with the sublime in an elegant and evocative staging that re-frames great works of classical music in a new visual landscape.

THE OPERA SHOW presents the most beautiful music ever written exquisitely performed in a spectacular and exuberant 21st century showcase. Mitch Sebastian's ravishing production is startling and fresh – a vivid MTV-style presentation with dazzling choreography animating great works of classical music. The result is an enchanted world where thrilling music is brought to life in an alluring, playful and electrifying evening that will delight opera enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

THE OPERA SHOW premiered in England in the summer of 2008. It was created by an eclectic team of theatre artists, stylists, designers and classical musicians and features a high-caliber performing company of 4 vocalists, 5 dancers and 8 musicians. The show is presented with its own distinct visual and musical personality. The show is anchored by a collection of well known arias sung by consummate vocalists. These pieces are presented outside their narrative context but inside a series of visual allegories that burst forth onto the stage like an exceptionally vivid dream.
