Melbourne Opera: Diamonds for the Diva at the NGV
We’re proud to be part of NGV Friday Nights: CARTIER this winter, presenting Diamonds for the Diva — a series of bespoke live performances celebrating Dame Nellie Melba, the Melbourne-born soprano whose voice conquered the world and who counted Cartier among her admirers.
Arranged especially for Friday Nights, the performance features Melbourne Opera’s own ‘Melba’ with a chamber ensemble of string quartet, flute and conductor — performed in the extraordinary surrounds of NGV International, alongside nearly 400 jewels, gems and archival treasures from Cartier.
