¡Ópera Española! On Australian Digital Concert Hall

¡Ópera Española!, presented by Mamás Bravas is  part of the Shepparton Festival 2023. However, music lovers around Australia can enjoy this scintillating performance of the music of Spain on Australian Digital Concert Hall (ADCH).

¡Ópera Española! is, at its core, a journey through the extremely rare Zarzuela Antigua repertoire of Spain, much of which was lost to fires in the mid-1700’s. As well as being streamed on ADCH, the concert will be streamed for the Bloomington Early Music Festival on 27th May.

Mamas Bravas is the brainchild of mezzo-soprano and creative producer Allegra Giagu. Under her artistic direction ¡Ópera Española! promises a fiesta of ravishing music and dance, nestled into the ‘Andalusian Mountains’ of Rye at Tallis.
