Ben Mingay was once a construction worker in Newcastle. Now, he’s about to make his Opera Australia debut.

The first part of Opera Australia’s 2024 season has launched and Guest Artistic Director Lindy Hume's program is no business-as-usual proposition.

CAMP is a window on to a world many of its younger audience would find hard to recognise let alone accept.
