The musicianship and skill of these young West Australian artists is undeniable, but on this occasion their attempts at experimentation didn't work.
This was a diligent and respectful performance of Rossini's "poor little Mass", but it lacked anything of the composer's wit and playfulness.
It is hard to find words to do justice to Jonathan Békés' magical performance with Mark Letonja and the TSO.
A fine concert of emotionally charged music featuring pianist Jayson Gillham.
Not a lot of spontaneity seemed permitted in the on-stage conversations, but this piece about disability, diversity and understanding brims with kindness, compassion and resolution.
The Australian premiere production nurtures this novella-like play’s intimacy and intrigue.
The Lysicrates Prize-winner finally makes it to the stage, with something serious to say about contemporary life and mores – which it does with wit, excoriating humour and insight.
Pinchgut’s sumptuous production of Orontea – with its quartet of feisty females – is sparkling entertainment.
The musical is as practically perfect as the beloved nanny herself, and explodes from the stage with colour and joy.
An enjoyable confection of songs and visual treats with a story tweaked for the 21st century.
Despite strong performances and some moments that really land, this show makes one wonder – why stage this play in Australia at all?
Great Italian bass Ferruccio Furlanetto shines in this concert performance of a Faustian obscurity by Arrigo Boito.
