Opera Australia's National Tour returns with a fabulous, 1950s-inspired staging of Mozart's dark comedic masterpiece. The production is directed by Michael Gow (writer of the seminal Australian play Away) and features a cast of some of Opera Australia's finest singers, performing alongside a live chamber orchestra.
