Program Alum Premieres new opera at NZOpera

Wednesday, Mar 22, 2023

Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alum Luke Di Somma (Cycle 19) will have the premiere of his new opera THE UNRULY TOURISTS from March 22-26th, 2023 at the Bruce Mason Centre, Takapuna in Auckland, New Zealand. The opera is being produced by NZOpera and will feature the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.

With a libretto by collaborators The Fan Brigade - Livi Reihana (Ngati Raukawa and Te Arawa) and Amanda Kennedy and a score by Di Somma, the opera tells a tale of a flock of badly-behaved tourists who spread a trail of rubbish, fuel a national obsession, make international headlines and land the visitors in local courtrooms… all in a re-imagined tehatre cabaret-style set up at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna.
