Piano+: A Night at the Opera
24 October @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm AEDT

Held at artist Tim Storrier’s former home, this year’s festival has been curated by Mark Coughlan and features fellow pianists Jeonghwan Kim, Reuben Tsang and Wynona Wang. Together, they will perform repertoire from Mozart to Greg Anderson. Soprano Rachelle Durkin joins them in Richard Strauss’s Morgen! and Bishop’s Lo, here the gentle lark, while Sydney Symphony Orchestra Associate Concertmaster Harry Bennetts plays Franck’s Violin Sonata. The weekend closes with Johann Strauss’s Blue Danube and, fittingly, Irving Berlin’s I Love a Piano.
Limelight Editor’s Choice
Be swept into the drama and glamour of the operatic stage, from Mozart’s sparkling wit and Rossini’s irresistible charm to Liszt’s breathtaking virtuosity. Revel in Grainger’s playful reimagining of Gershwin, be moved by the soaring lyricism of Richard Strauss, and dazzled by Anderson’s fiery Carmen Fantasy. With Weber’s thrilling Der Freischütz overture to round out the program, it promises an evening of passion, brilliance, and theatrical flair — a true celebration of opera with the piano.
