State Opera South Australia is delighted to share the commitment to championing emerging operatic talent with The Consulate of Italy in South Australia. A new venture sees the two organisations partnering to provide Italian language coaching to five South Australian young artists as part of their ongoing training.<\/p>\n

Performing in a different language is a challenge all opera singers face, one which they need to regularly practise and refine to reach their artistic and professional goals.<\/p>\n

Opera is born from deep roots in Italian heritage. It became a celebrated and popular form of entertainment only a few hundred years ago and continues to pull big crowds at venues like La Scala, Milan\u2019s famous opera house.<\/p>\n

Many of the world\u2019s most beloved operas are sung in Italian including Puccini\u2019s\u00a0La boh\u00e8me<\/em>, Verdi\u2019s\u00a0La traviata<\/em>\u00a0and Mozart\u2019s\u00a0The Marriage of Figaro<\/em>, and who can forget the infamous, spine-tingling aria \u2018Nessun Dorma\u2019?<\/p>\n

With language being such an integral part of a singer\u2019s skillset, coaching is vital for young and emerging performers to excel. A strong proficiency and confidence in language allows them to hone their craft and create an edge to their artistry and individuality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am incredibly excited that our young singers have an opportunity to work with the Italian Consulate to develop and improve their language skills\u201d said Mark Taylor, Executive Director of State Opera. \u201cThis is a unique opportunity to learn from native speakers about the intricacies of the language which they can take into their own performance and create a new layer of meaning and integrity in what they put out on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the 100-year anniversary of the death of Puccini, State Opera and the Italian Consulate are excited to continue the relationship between Italian language, culture and opera. The partnership continues with the Consulate\u2019s support of two Puccini themed concerts,\u00a0Passionate Puccini<\/u><\/em><\/a>, at UKARIA Cultural Centre in November this year. Appearing are two renowned Australian singers who have recently performed for the company; tenor Paul O\u2019Neill as Macduff in Verdi\u2019s\u00a0Macbeth<\/em>\u00a0last year, and soprano Cathy-Di Zhang who played the role of Mimi in the outdoor spectacle\u00a0Boh\u00e8me on the Beach<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is fantastic to celebrate the works of Puccini in the 100-year anniversary of his death with two of Australia\u2019s finest opera stars\u201d said Ernesto Pianelli, Consul of Italy in South Australia. \u201cThis is also a magnificent opportunity to build on a relationship with State Opera to promote Italian music and culture in South Australia. I am very proud of our partnership and the coaching programme for emerging artists that will help them best interpret the Italian operatic repertoire.\u201d<\/p>\n
