We're proud to be sponsors of the Wellington season of Cavalleria rusticana & Pagliacci! The calibre and quality of the singers alone is rare in New Zealand, but throw in John Parker's revolving set, Elizabeth Whiting's sensational costumes, an 80 strong chorus and the orchestra playing to perfection under the baton of Oliver von Dohnanyi, and you've got a night at the opera with double the WOW factor!!!
