Synopsis

Opera, but make it seriously fun! L’arietta Productions redefines the art form with bold, playful performances with humour, drama, and a touch of the unexpected. From one-minute operas to immersive psychodramas—and even an opera about speed dating—our shows prove that opera can be witty, wild, and wonderfully entertaining. Whether it’s Mozart, Singaporean composers, or musical theatre favourites like Spamalot, we bring stories to life in a way that’s fresh, exciting, and downright fun. Forget the old clichés—this is opera like you’ve never seen it before!

 

Reuben Lai – The Egotist (Tenor)

Akiko Otao – The Diva (Soprano)

Pricilla Fong – The Pants Wearer (Mezzo-Soprano)

Pauline Lee – The Plonker (Piano)
