D.i.v.a - Opus 2

D.I.V.A - Opus 2 at Radiant-Bellevue

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are delighted to welcome D.I.V.A - Opus 2, a sparkling return from the inventive troupe that reimagines the great tradition of opera with boldness, finesse, and a mischievous sense of play. From our vantage point as a venue dedicated to clarity of sound and a warm audience experience, this project is a perfect fit: the show’s chamber scale and theatrical agility thrive in our acoustics, while the intimacy of our hall allows the singers’ vocal color and comedic detail to land with precision. D.I.V.A combines classically trained voices with an agile instrumental ensemble, distilling monumental scores into vivid, concentrated scenes that bring audiences thrillingly close to the music. We have programmed staging, lighting, and sound to highlight the quicksilver transitions that are a signature of their style—arias and ensembles unfolding with the immediacy of spoken theatre, then blooming into full musical radiance. It is a privileged encounter with opera’s emotions, presented with contemporary flair and irresistible charm.

What audiences will experience on our stage

D.I.V.A - Opus 2 expands the troupe’s celebrated method: the classics are reframed in concise, witty tableaux that honor the original scores while revealing their comic and human pulse. Expect a kaleidoscopic journey that may dart from the vivacity of Il barbiere di Siviglia to the dramatic fever of Carmen, from the crystalline magic of Die Zauberflöte to the lyrical ache of La Traviata, and the shadowed passions of Rigoletto or the high-wire drama of Turandot. The performers deploy razor-sharp timing, crystalline diction, and an expressive palette that moves effortlessly between farce and heartfelt confession. Costumes and props appear and vanish in a heartbeat, as if conjured; musical motifs are refracted through nimble arrangements that compress the orchestra’s power into chamber textures without sacrificing impact. At Radiant-Bellevue, we will emphasize the show’s cinematic flow with tailored lighting cues that sculpt each micro-scene, while our sound design preserves vocal blend and textual clarity from the front rows to the upper balcony. Whether you are discovering opera for the first time or returning as a seasoned aficionado, this programme offers a rare double promise: it entertains with irrepressible energy and illuminates the essence of the repertoire.

For us as hosts, the excitement also lies in the artistic momentum behind this new chapter. With D.I.V.A - Opus 2, the ensemble refines its narrative thread and introduces fresh orchestrations that enrich the palette of timbres and rhythms; the writing between numbers is brisk and theatrical, knitting the excerpts into a journey that feels both playful and coherent. Recent seasons have seen the artists deepen their ensemble chemistry on tour and in studio workshops, sharpening a performance language that is as precise as it is spontaneous. They bring that maturity to Radiant-Bellevue, along with a renewed appetite for audience interaction—those sparkling asides and deft musical winks that make a grand tradition feel intimate and alive. Our stage team has worked closely on sightlines, quick-change logistics, and acoustic focus to ensure the show’s hallmark speed and clarity are fully served. As a house that cherishes the encounter between artists and audiences, we are proud to provide the setting in which these voices, this music, and this mischievous theatre can resonate—immediate, uplifting, and gloriously human.
