\"Capture\"<\/p>\n

Soprano Nicole Car celebrates a triumphant return to Australia with a starring role in a concert presentation of Massenet’s opera Tha\u00efs in<\/em>\u00a0Sydney\u2019s Town Hall.<\/p>\n

Nicole is one of Australia\u2019s most exciting opera singers, with critically acclaimed performances in Luisa Miller<\/em> at the Sydney Opera House and Eugene Onegin<\/em> at Covent Garden, and the release of her solo album of operatic arias The Kiss,<\/em> debuting at number one on the Australian classical charts in 2015. She\u00a0joins a string of noted sopranos who have sung the role of Tha\u00efs – they include Renee Fleming, Beverly Sills, Anna Moffo and Barbara Frittoli. Perhaps the most familiar piece from the opera is ironically an instrumental piece – the\u00a0M\u00e9ditation<\/i>, the entr’acte<\/i> for violin and orchestra played between the scenes of Act 2.<\/p>\n

Nicole Car brings the richness and power of her voice to the title role of the disillusioned courtesan. Performing with Nicole and making his Australian debut as the man who cannot resist her charms, both on the stage and in real life is Canadian baritone Etienne Dupuis.<\/p>\n

Nicole and Etienne recently welcomed their first child Noah into the world, after meeting in Berlin in 2015 where they were both performing in Eugene Onegin.<\/em> This will be the first time they have performed together on the Australian stage.<\/p>\n

Sung in French, Nicole and Etienne will be joined on stage by some of Australia\u2019s finest singers, tenor Simon Kim, bass Richard Anderson, mezzo-sopranos Sian Pendry and Anna Yun and soprano Anna Louise Cole, along with the Opera Australia Orchestra conducted by\u00a0Guillaume Tourniaire.<\/p>\n
