OV Opera Verismo is an ensemble consisting of and collaborating with a varied and engaging mix of players and voice.
A direct and exciting way to emulate the impassioned form of expression that makes an immediate, emotional impact in the true verismo style.
Verismo extends beyond the boundaries of the familiar warmth of bel canto and romantic opera in a rich and varied tapestry of emotionally-charged music drama.
Verismo (meaning “realism”, from Italian vero, meaning “truth”)
The Italian operatic tradition carried on in the post-Romantic era whose advocates tried to bring into the theatre the naturalism and realistic – sometimes sordid or violent – depictions of contemporary everyday life, especially that of the common people.
Narratives are realistic and depicted with vigor, in a style often akin to that of a conversation between like minded people.
Love, fun, heartache, home and family all contributing to a genre that is much loved.
