Elder Conservatorium: Lunchtime Concert – French Guise

Elder Hall University of Adelaide, North Terrace, Adelaide, SA, Australia
Works by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Henri Desmarets, André Campra, Chiara Margarita Cozzolani and Barbara Strozzi capture a musical expression of the life and times of Julie d’Aubigny, the 17th-century French sword-fighting opera singer.

Beethoven’s Eighth

Australian Haydn Ensemble: Beethoven’s Eighth

Berry Uniting Church Hall 71-77 Albert St, Berry, NSW, Australia
Ah, those summer nights in Eastern Europe, 1812. A week after Napoleon invades Russia, Ludwig van Beethoven almost certainly says “Yes, tonight Josephine” to the love of his life, the unhappily married and recently jilted but socially impossible match, Countess Jozefina Brunszvik. Three days later he pours forth - with…
Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition

Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition

Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
Simone Young recently conducted Mussorgsky’s opera Khovanshchina in Berlin, performances hailed as ‘…quite simply, outstanding in every way’ (Seen and Heard International). She brings that interpretive brilliance to Pictures at an Exhibition, with its heart-stopping contrasts, vivid stories and dramatic scenes that the Romantics are famous for. Close your eyes and be transported to The…

The Barber of Seville

Opera Australia: The Barber of Seville

Regent Theatre 191 Collins St, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Almaviva is wealthy, stealthy and head over heels. Rosina is witty, pretty and just as smitten. She’s also inconveniently betrothed. They need a plan. Time to call on: Fi-ga-ro! Figaro! Figaro! Enter the friendly neighbourhood barber with wits and tricks as sharp as his razors. He sets to work to…
The Infinite Quality of Nature

Ronan Apcar: The Infinite Quality of Nature

Tempo Rubato 34 Breese St, Brunswick, VIC, Australia
Long before and long after our time on Earth, nature follows its never-ending course. The plants never stop growing, the seasons never stop changing, and the universe and its planets are forever in motion. Nature operates on a scale of time so large and simultaneously so small, we can't fathom…

Editor's Choice Roméo et Juliette

Her Majesty's Theatre, Adelaide Adelaide, SA, Australia
Gounod’s operatic take on Shakespeare’s tale gets a new staging in this co-production by SOSA, West Australian Opera and Irish National Opera.
