A volcanic account of Beethoven’s last symphony under the baton of British conductor Alpesh Chauhan – and more besides.
A nuanced, emotionally stirring rendition of the last days of Christ, conducted with reverence for music and story.
Polished and heartfelt performances in an exquisite closing program.
Bendigo Chamber Music Festival's Friday night concert lived up to the promise of its title – a blast of colour and light.
In 2024 West Australian Opera presents a year reflecting on love, loss, and longing with ancient stories, myths, and legends.
For its fifth year, the Festival offers a lineup of classic chamber works performed by leading Australian artists.
The company’s outdoor offering for 2023 is its boldest move yet, a well-judged production of Bizet’s Carmen at the WACA stadium.
Organist Joseph Nolan curates a program of revered classics, stellar ensembles and beloved singers to entice music lovers back from pandemic hiatus.
Conducted by Brett Weymark, Handel's Messiah shines a fresh light after the dark months of the pandemic.
Asher Fisch and his forces awake this behemoth with sensitivity and abandonment, portraying the epic life-and-death struggle as conflict, but also as progress and reconciliation.
The lineup includes Carmen in the WACA, Sondheim's Into the Woods, a new Bohème and a world premiere by Lachlan Skipworth, with a new work in the Noongar language scheduled for 2024.
Christopher Bowen’s new choral work, based on former Prime Minister Keating's Redfern speech, expresses our determination to reconcile, atone and work to a shared future with First Nations people.
This festival is an extraordinary achievement in improving accessibility to opera and the arts more broadly.
