Mellen Events: The Ten Tenors: 30th Anniversary

The Empire Theatres, Toowoomba 54-56 Neil Street, Toowoomba, QLD, Australia

Editor's Choice The Verdi Gala Concert

Opera Australia: The Verdi Gala Concert

Arts Centre Melbourne Forecourt, 100 St Kilda Road, Southbank, VIC, Australia
Giuseppe Verdi was perhaps the most important Italian opera composer of the 19th century. Over five decades, his work developed the art form from the bel canto roots evident in masterpieces like Nabucco, Macbeth, Rigoletto, La traviata and Il trovatore to the full flowering of grand opera in works like Un ballo in maschera, La forza del destino, Don Carlos, Aida, Otello and Falstaff.…

Snow Concert Hall 40 Monaro Crescent, Red Hill, ACT, Australia

Described as an “oarsman, musician and scholar”, Frederick Septimus Kelly wrote…

Flinders Quartet: Serioso and Serene

Albert Hall, Yarralumla 100 Commonwealth Avenue, Yarralumla, ACT, Australia
Beethoven’s self-titled Serioso quartet, composed during the politically charged Napoleonic era, reflects his personal and political struggles with a sense of urgency and defiant shifts in tone, embodying a longing for freedom.

Schubert Songs

Australian Haydn Ensemble: Schubert Songs

Albert Hall, Yarralumla 100 Commonwealth Avenue, Yarralumla, ACT, Australia
Much more than a lieder recital, this rare and beautiful concert features some of Schubert’s most darkly-hued songs, superbly delivered by David Greco’s mahogany bass-baritone, and intensified by rich and expressive string quartet accompaniments. David has carefully structured his selection according to key and timbre, and the esteemed Australian Haydn…
Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony

Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony

Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique is a lifetime in a symphony. Growing in power and strength throughout, the strings bloom exquisitely in the third movement — 80 musicians of the Sydney Symphony at full stride — before falling away into poetic oblivion at the end. It was Tchaikovsky’s final symphony, one he described as the…
