The latest arts appointments and departures.

The Australian conductor to head one of Europe's premier opera companies from 2026.

Powerful Australian presences on stage and podium contribute to a Ring Cycle that gives its audiences much to think about.

After two years of disruption, the arts bounced back in 2022, with plenty of memorable performances. So, who would you like to see recognised?

This Sydney Symphony Orchestra concert is the last chance for a while to hear cellist Umberto Clerici, before he takes up the baton full-time.

Despite Grieg's blockbuster becoming a white-knuckle page turner, Piers Lane gave a magisterial performance with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

The classical nominees at this year's AIR Awards are Andrew Blanch and Ariel Nurhadi, Ensemble Offspring, Richard Tognetti and the ACO, Jayson Gillham and the ASO, and Joseph and James Tawadros and the SSO.

All-Australian Beethoven concerti cycle brings zip and zing to favourites.

Mark Wigglesworth conducts Beethoven's nine symphonies over 10 days, a mini festival of women composers, and Nicholas Carter returns to conduct Mahler's Fifth.

Ermonela Jaho talks about Anna Bolena, we learn the true story behind Come From Away, and Nico Muhly discusses his three Australian commissions.

Nicholas Carter couldn’t be happier with the way the ASO has nurtured and developed his career. But as he tells Jo Litson, with a new position in Austria, and other exciting international offers in his calendar, it’s time to put down the baton as Adelaide’s Principal Conductor.

Jayson Gillham and the ASO end their Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle with the 'Emperor', and another standing ovation.
