The awe-inspiring surroundings of the 1st-century Roman quarry at St Margarethen in eastern Austria provide the perfect backdrop for these thrilling live performances of opera at its grandest. All the splendour of ancient Egypt and biblical Babylon is on display for Verdi’s spectacular Aida and Nabucco, while only open-air performance can truly convey the heat and dust of the Spain where the tragedy of Carmen is played out. And the Paris Opera, no less, is recreated to summon up the moneyed, heartless society that condemns the heroine of Verdi’s La Traviata to her poignant fate.
