Schubert Songs

Australian Haydn Ensemble: Schubert Songs

State Library of NSW 1 Shakespeare Pl,, Sydney, NSW, 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…

GWB Entertainment: The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale

Comedy Theatre 240 Exhibition St,, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Condensing J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy novel into a three-hour musical takes some doing, but the main plot points are here as Frodo Baggins and three fellow Hobbits set out on a dangerous journey to save Middle-earth by destroying the all-powerful One Ring. Most of the performers are actor-musicians and it’s…

The Beep Test

Theatre Works: The Beep Test

Theatre Works St Kilda, VIC, Australia
The Beep Test is a comedic, fast-paced, over-the-top new Australian musical that dives into the drama and chaos that was school Beep Tests! The musical follows four determined students and one far too enthusiastic PE Teacher of Class 7C as they compete for the number one place, whatever the cost!…
