Haydn’s Sunrise

Bowral Memorial Hall 16-24 Bendooley St,, Bowral, NSW
The AHE commence their season with two wonderful quartets that morph effortlessly from the lofty to the lowbrow.

Die Fledermaus

West Australian Symphony Orchestra: Die Fledermaus

Winthrop Hall Perth, WA, Australia
It’s New Year’s Eve and the charmingly mischievous Eisenstein finds himself embroiled in a night of pure chaos.
