00:00:05L'amour est un oiseau rebelle, qu'elle ne peut t'apprévoir-s-y.
00:00:13Et c'est bien à l'envergoye à peine, j'ai mis qu'en vient de refuser.
00:00:21Il y a un effet de menace au prière, m'en parle bien.
00:00:27L'autre château, c'est l'autre que je préfère, il n'a rien dit, mais s'il me plaît.
00:00:39L'amour, l'amour, laissez-moi nous entendre.
00:00:51I love you, love you, love you never have a law
00:00:59If you don't even love me, I love you
00:01:04If I take care of you, I don't love you
00:01:09If you don't even love me, I love you
00:01:16And if I love you, if I love you, look at you.
00:01:35But if you thought you'd be surprised, you'd be alone.
00:01:43And love, you can't wait, you can't wait.
00:01:49He's there, he's there, he's there very quickly, quickly, he's going to go.
00:01:57Then he'll come back and say, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:02:06Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:02:11I love you, and forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever.
00:02:22The love is by me.
00:02:26It is never grandmass to understand.
00:02:30If I love you, because of you.
00:02:38Na la la la si tu ne m'aimes pas si tu ne m'aimes pas je les terme
00:02:47Na la la la la si je t'aime si j'en zèle
00:02:54Va me tre faire toi
00:03:09So, the night might be cool, but the music is hot, and it doesn't get hotter than the
00:03:15Spanish heroine of Bizet's opera, Carmen.
00:03:19What you're going to hear now is what I'm thinking of as the TikTok version of Carmen,
00:03:23really just the essentials of the love triangle that is at the heart of this opera.
00:03:29Carmen, tonight a seductive Indiana Schneider, sings a habanera, Carmen is giving you a
00:03:36heads up. Loving her is perhaps not the wisest idea.
00:03:41Then the toreador, a swaggering Leon Vitugianis, sings his own victory anthem and firmly catches
00:03:49Carmen's eye. And then poor Don José, a soulful Elias Wilson on stage, sings of a time when
00:03:56he was happy from his prison cell with a wilted flower that was thrown at him by the woman
00:04:04who he thinks used to love him.
00:04:08Carmen, what a mix.
00:04:10Please welcome to the stage, Indiana Schneider.
00:04:55Thank you very much.

01:11:432027, because Opera Australia has opened up, already auditioned its Young
01:11:47Artists Program for next year, and you'll get a chance to see them at the start of
01:11:51their journey, and believe you me, the distance that they travel
01:11:55just across this short year and a half with Opera Australia as part of the Young
01:11:59Artists Program is astonishing, and they really are ready to leave the nest now.
01:12:03So one last bracket of
01:12:05opera hits for you now

01:12:16and then a full
01:12:17cast number, taking you to a
01:12:19bohemian Parisian cafe
01:12:21Musetta's Waltz, in which Musetta is
01:12:23mercilessly torturing
01:12:25her lover, Marcello, and there's something
01:12:27about a shoe. And
01:12:29just a top tip, if you clap
01:12:31long and loud enough, they might just
01:12:33have one more.
01:13:22Puccini's Turandot
01:13:36Oh
