How it feels

A reality show that searched Australia for an untrained singer to perform in a professional opera. The series followed the contest as participants were coached and prepared for a debut at the Sydney Opera House.

What happens

Operatunity Oz was a 2006 talent search, and accompanying four-part television documentary by Simon Target, in which Opera Australia conducted a nationwide quest to find someone without professional opera experience, who could be coached to sing in a staged opera – Verdi's Rigoletto in the event – at the Sydney Opera House in the company of professional performers, as part of Opera Australia's regular season. It was modelled on the earlier British Operatunity (2003). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
