Aphrodite at Carriageworks Tickets
About Aphrodite
Sydney Chamber Opera presents a world premiere by Nico Muhly in association with Omega Ensemble.
Before she became the goddess of beauty as we know her today, Aphrodite was linked to fertility and the powerful miracle of life that comes from passionate pleasure. But over time, beauty and pleasure became fused with a new idea: that to be loved, one must be beautiful and to be the most beautiful means you are the most loved.
Muhly’s new score is directed by Alexander Berlage (American Psycho), with a libretto by Australian playwright Laura Lethlean, and features two extraordinary voices: Jessica O’Donoghue (Gilgamesh) and Puerto Rican soprano Meechot Marrero, making her highly anticipated Australian debut. This powerful premiere production is enriched by the extraordinary musicians of Omega Ensemble.
