AIDA - In Concert
For one night only, Southern Opera presents this grandest of grand operas, in concert. Verdi's magnificent Egyptian opera is a tale of patriotism and love destroyed by the chaos of war.
Experience the power of a chorus featuring over 130 singers alongside the full Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.
The instantly recognisable 'Grand March' is one of the monumental cornerstones of the operatic chorus repertoire.
