Presented by: Opera Otago

From: Ōtepoti | Dunedin

Shocked to find each other at the gates of Heaven, Cuzzoni and Faustina look back at their operatic careers. The legendary operatic divas relive their fiery competition and breathtaking performances.


An Enchantment of Nightingales is a theatre piece in one act by John Drummond, created from an idea by Claire Barton that incorporates arias and duets from the world of eighteenth-century opera seria.


Mezzo-soprano Claire Barton and soprano Rebecca Ryan star as the two divas, accompanied by an ensemble led by John van Buskirk on the harpsichord. James Adams directs.


Opera Otago, New Zealand's longest-running opera company, returns to the Fringe Festival in 2025 following its award-winning season of The Trapeze Artists.
