Your La scala Opera series was absolutely wonderful - I don't know which would be the hightlight - maybe Aida - that male chorus! theb agaub - Tristan was amazing. weirie on 15/10/2008 at 12:07:58 PM

I loved the shows that I saw. Please say that the series will return/repeat/continue! tuuulz on 11/10/2008 at 11:02:01 PM

Were these Opera screenings a secret???? I wish I had known about them... I am very disappointed that I have missed out on seeing some of them.. I am sure a lot of people feel the same way.. kdebba on 26/09/2008 at 12:25:09 PM

My step mum will love this so cant wait to be updated MelissaJane on 12/09/2008 at 9:20:05 AM

I have enjoyed these opera screenings. Can we look forward to another series? I really hope so!Elvira fleur1 on 1/09/2008 at 11:13:01 AM

You mention that The La Scala Opera Series is hugely popular - please consider showing the next series. Let's hope Tristan and Isolde is not the absolute grand finale! operachic on 26/08/2008 at 5:30:46 AM

Please consider screening the next season of the La Scala operas. operachic on 26/08/2008 at 5:03:42 AM

Why is Tristan a grand finale? Is Greater Union not going to offer the next season of La Scala operas? It will be a pity, because the next season of the Met's operas are about to be launched by another cinema group. operachic on 26/08/2008 at 5:02:23 AM

I wish i had have known earlier about these wonderful screenings i would have to have seen Aida,maybe next time. bellie on 25/08/2008 at 9:14:48 PM

What a wonderful experience seeing these shows. Unfortunately I have missed a few - will they be repeated? flowerpower on 22/08/2008 at 10:27:40 AM

For next season of these, I list the following as the largest hopefuls:Makropulos Case (Denoke, Dvorsky; Letonja, Ronconi)Idomeneo (Filanoti, Ciofi; Myung-Whun Chung, Bondy)Viaggio a Reims (Massis, Ciofi, Remigio; Dantone, Ronconi)2nd place:Tristan und IsoldeDon Carlo (Cedolins, Filanoti, Zajic, Furlanetto; Gatti, Braunschweig)Alcina (Harteros, Bacelli)The others are:AidaRake's ProgressMidsummer Night's DreamAssassin in the CathedralOrfeo (Monteverdi)La Scala will somehow pick and choose.David H Spence davehs_dusik on 18/07/2008 at 4:10:41 PM

I hope you include Madam Butterfly next season. Don't want to go another year without crying my eyes out.Love this concept. Melissa on 30/06/2008 at 1:36:44 PM

Very odd times to see these. I would love to see the La Rondine but these times don't suit. Earlier show on Saturday would be great! Ms Italia on 24/06/2008 at 8:59:50 AM

I tried to see Maria Stuarda twice at George Street, both times the session was cancelled due to technical difficults, is there any chance it can be brought back for those who never got to see it. It was the only one that many people were interested in seeing and it was the one cancelled, so frustrating!!! Marquis_de_Valmont on 19/06/2008 at 10:38:18 AM

I have just missed the Aida can it bring back again Bobocat on 12/06/2008 at 12:39:24 PM

Ihave not been able to see the operas because the time that they screen I am at work, even on weekends. Can we please have some evening screenings.I would go to all of them, please give us earlier notice, of the operas.Thankyou zarbie on 9/06/2008 at 9:17:25 AM

What a great treat to have opera in film during day performances and at such a modest price. Please keep going with this wonderful idea, spencer on 7/06/2008 at 9:40:23 AM

Website shows $21 for Seniors but GU George Street does not offer this discount. Why??? Betscott on 26/05/2008 at 8:53:29 AM

Can I add my name to the people who are saying "Come to Newcastle"? The Met Operas were a terrific success here and there's obviously a market. Jemima on 23/05/2008 at 7:56:22 AM

Brilliant! Just saw Aida and I am hooked. Sorry I didn't hear about La Traviata in time - Adelaide newspaper piece about this appeared last weekend... See you again in June! Swish_1 on 17/05/2008 at 10:29:33 PM

Please try and add Great Union Newcastle! At the very least, please include Newcastle next year. The Met screenings were huge here but won't happen again because developers have closed the Showcase cinemas. 5beauties on 12/05/2008 at 10:42:27 PM

Please think of showing these operas at Macquarie. There is a huge university population here, many would love to see these operas. I have been to a few at the Chauvel (Met) but I would adore to see these locally. hectorboy on 9/05/2008 at 8:44:02 PM

Loved La Traviata (twice).Want to book for Aida, but Indooroopilly Megaplex is not yet listing it. Why is this? noellina on 30/04/2008 at 1:42:48 PM

What a superb opera, which I saw at the Innaloo Megaplex, Perth. Pity there was so little publicity about this. Please publicise future operas widely so that more opera lovers are aware of this wonderful venture of Greater Unions. Thank you GU for embracing this wonderful new technology. operachic on 28/04/2008 at 3:00:55 AM

I would love to see the all these operas but Bondi is a bit too far for me. Please bring them out to Parramatta. RitaGee on 27/04/2008 at 2:00:37 AM

How could you leave Newcastle out? Have you seen the number of Newcastle and Hunter opera lovers who have been going to the Met screenings? This is a tragedy! Tingira on 25/04/2008 at 12:33:23 PM

Congratulations, GReater Union. It all looks first rate.Will there be an interval at some screenings?Is it only on at Bondi Junction?How do I book a season ticket for the opera, and is there a discount for seniors for the season ticket? Bronte on 23/04/2008 at 11:41:09 AM

"La Traviata" will run for about 2hrs 20 (this doesn't include intermission). It will star the divine Angela Gheorghiu as Violetta :) See here for more: http://www.emergingpictures.com/operas.htm Exceptionally Amy on 14/04/2008 at 7:10:14 PM

Who are the opera singers performing in La Traviata at Bondi Junction Greater Union on Sunday 27th April?How long is the film?Thanks Robbie on 12/04/2008 at 2:31:10 PM
