THE RIDE

A Magritte, a van Gogh and a Goya walk into a gallery… If Rossini made a showreel of his best work, it would sound like Il Viaggio a Reims (The Journey to Reims). The prolific composer was unabashedly showing off when he wrote this incredible work, destined to dazzle the aristocracy at the crowning of Charles X and then disappear forever. The simple plot is a marvellous excuse for a string of fantastic arias and impressive ensemble pieces. Because it’s so demanding and expensive to stage, it’s never been seen in Australia before. But in 2019, Rossini’s exultant opera finally makes its Australian premiere, a spectacular vehicle for some of your favourite performers. In Damiano Michieletto’s playful take, the eccentric cast of characters find themselves in a gallery filled with the master works of art history. Velázquez’s enormous dresses jostle for space with Keith Haring’s cheerful murals. Frida Kahlo and van Gogh compare self-portraits. It’s a surreal world, where artworks step out of the frame and come to life the moment the lights go out. Delightful, surprising, spectacular and frivolous, this co-production with Dutch National Opera and the Royal Danish Theatre is a perfect foil for Rossini’s jubilant score. Gaze at the world’s most famous art through the magnificent (and thoroughly tongue-in-cheek) sets and costumes. Paolo Fantin and Carla Teti have recreated iconic works with remarkable fidelity. Young Australian conductor Daniel Smith makes his long-awaited debut with Opera Australia, bringing his characteristic sparkle in the pit to a huge cast of talents. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.​​​​​​​

Good to Know :  Because of events held in the stadium, the tour is subject to change according to security requirements in force on the day of your visit. For security reasons, your bag will be searched before you enter the stadium. Please aim to arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled time of your visit.   You’ll begin your tour by visiting the stands which offer you a breath-taking panorama.  Your expert guide will show you around the stadium’s private boxes. You’ll enjoy the special atmosphere of the locker room and will walk through the same tunnel which players use to access the pitch. Close your eyes and imagine the excitement of the 80,000 spectators cheering on their teams at the biggest games, as if you were there.  You’ll be told all about the stadium’s history, its unique architecture and the stars who’ve appeared on its manicured pitch. But there’s more to the stadium than just football! The largest sporting and cultural venue in France doesn’t just host high-level competitions; shows and other major events are also held here. The Rolling Stones were the first group to perform at the stadium. The experience continues as you’re left to enjoy the Stade de France’s museum: archives, models, autographed guitars and jerseys... an array of items which are testament to the stadium’s legendary history. It’s a unique visit, following in the footsteps of Zidane and Griezmann, and allows you to find out all there is to know about the mysteries of the Stade de France!
