A new musical by Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall and a fresh work from shake & stir among the tentpole shows in the 2023 Brisbane Festival.

This double bill featuring an opera by Poulenc and a new Australian work, conceived by Ali McGregor with a score by Connor D'Netto, is captivating, intelligent, theatrical and emotional.

Australian soprano Ali McGregor has formed a company to create concepts for new operas – one of which, The Call, will premiere at Opera Queensland, with McGregor starring. She explains how and why The Call came about.

International acts return for the first time in two years, alongside 20 world premieres, with more than half of the 500-odd performances offered free of charge.
