Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra: Love, Loss & Madness
16 July @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

Bel canto tales of love, loss and madness from 19th-century Italy, told by some of Australia’s most brilliant singers, using all the chiaroscuro and passion of the human voice against a lush backdrop of historical strings, winds and brass.
Based on groundbreaking new research by Prof. Neal Peres Da Costa, and featuring leading Australian vocalists with the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, plus three YMS Emerging Artists and two ARCO Fellows.
With grateful thanks to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney.
