Stardust & Divinity – Opera Gala

Shaumet Music returns to the Sydney Opera House with an opera gala that weaves together myth, music, and the eternal yearning of the human spirit for the divine.

Stardust & Divinity follows opera’s timeless fascination with gods and mortals — from Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice to Dvořák’s Rusalka and Gounod’s Faust — ascending to its resplendent heights in the mythic world of Richard Wagner, where love defies fate and redemption blazes with celestial fire.

In this radiant tapestry of arias and ensembles, ancient legends awaken through the voices of today. Each story reveals how the soul — born of stardust — forever reaches toward the divine.

Join us on an afternoon when starlight spills upon the sea, in the Utzon Room of the Sydney Opera House, for a performance of luminous sound and mythic wonder — where every note shimmers with both stardust and divinity.
