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

Join the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra for Romantic bel canto tales of love, loss and madness from 19th-century Italy, told by four of Australia’s most brilliant singers and co-directed by Rachael Beesley and Neal Peres Da Costa.
Dive into an imagined opera of arias, recitatives and overtures, with all the chiaroscuro and passion of the human voice against a lush backdrop of historical strings, winds and brass.
Meet musicians afterwards in the Atrium Bar – one complimentary drink per ticket!
