Verdi’s Divas celebrates the women who define Verdi’s operatic world with passion, resilience, and vocal brilliance.

ABOUT THE EVENT
Verdi’s Divas follows the stories of opera’s most famous heroines, from innocence to experience, from love to conflict, and ultimately to sacrifice and transcendence. These women begin as dreamers and end as figures of extraordinary moral courage, revealing Verdi’s belief that the heart is the true centre of drama.

From the doomed innocence of Gilda and tragic grace of Violetta, to the regal intensity of Leonora, Elvira, Eboli, and Aida; these roles demand not only vocal virtuosity but profound dramatic truth, revealing women who love fiercely, defy convention, and shape the destinies of those around them.  

Springboard Opera’s emerging artists alongside Eleanor Greenwood, Aylish Ryan, and Jia-Peng Yeung, will bring Verdi’s theatre of emotion to vivid life with a 50-piece orchestra conducted by Neil Flottmann, and the 20-piece Vocal Manouevres Academy chorus.

This is a journey through love, power, sacrifice, and destiny; told through the voices of Verdi’s greatest heroines.
