SUMMARY:Gravity and Other Myths + The Metropolitan Orchestra | LOUDER
DESCRIPTION:Circus meets symphony\n\n\n\nThe intensity is turned up as the beauty and precision of classical music meet the daring physical mastery of circus. When these two disciplines collide\, tradition isn’t abandoned\, it’s reimagined and brought thrillingly to life. \nCreated by multi-award-winning Australian circus company Gravity and Other Myths in collaboration with the Brandenburger Symphoniker\, LOUDER is a powerful new work responding to the noise and complexity of the modern world through the enduring language of classical music. \nOn the Opera House stage\, eight world-class acrobats share the space with 22 musicians from The Metropolitan Orchestra\, conducting by Sarah-Grace Williams\, in a finely balanced exchange of sound and movement. \nThe acrobats’ physicality becomes a visual interpretation of the music itself\, from Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major to newly composed works from Sxip Shirey and Quincey Grant. Human towers rise and fall\, bodies are launched and caught\, structures build and dissolve\, all meticulously calibrated to the conductor’s beat. \nThough they come from different artistic worlds\, both musicians and acrobats are guided by the same principles: timing\, trust\, discipline and precision.

SUMMARY:Opera Australia | Rigoletto
DESCRIPTION:A father’s curse\, a daughter’s fate. As innocence is shattered\, revenge becomes the only prayer.\nAt the Duke’s infamous parties\, one man’s words light the darkness with a sinister glitter. Among the glamorous girls and greasy gangsters\, Rigoletto serves his master with sharp wits and averted eyes. \nFrom the moment he wrote it\, Verdi knew he had a hit on his hands. The story has everything: royalty\, loyalty\, devotion\, lust and revenge. \nAnd the music? The music is sensational\, so full of hummable tunes that Verdi demanded complete secrecy from his premiere cast. The tenor was forbidden from even whistling the catchy ‘La donna è mobile’ outside of rehearsals. \nThe morning after Rigoletto’s triumphant première\, that melody rang out in the streets: a hit for ever after. \nElijah Moshinsky’s much-loved production of Rigoletto returns to the Sydney Opera House stage\, complete with its glamorous La Dolce Vita-inspired sets and costumes and scene-stealing Fiat 500. The revolving dolls-house style set gives cinematic detail to each scene. \nWe’ve assembled a brilliant cast led by Italian conductor Sesto Quatrini in his Opera Australia debut. Dalibor Jenis reprises his acclaimed performance as the tortured jester at the heart of Verdi’s masterpiece\, with Kang Wang as the Duke and rising star Gemma Nha as the jester’s daughter.

SUMMARY:Opera Australia | Rigoletto
DESCRIPTION:A father’s curse\, a daughter’s fate. As innocence is shattered\, revenge becomes the only prayer.\nAt the Duke’s infamous parties\, one man’s words light the darkness with a sinister glitter. Among the glamorous girls and greasy gangsters\, Rigoletto serves his master with sharp wits and averted eyes. \nFrom the moment he wrote it\, Verdi knew he had a hit on his hands. The story has everything: royalty\, loyalty\, devotion\, lust and revenge. \nAnd the music? The music is sensational\, so full of hummable tunes that Verdi demanded complete secrecy from his premiere cast. The tenor was forbidden from even whistling the catchy ‘La donna è mobile’ outside of rehearsals. \nThe morning after Rigoletto’s triumphant première\, that melody rang out in the streets: a hit for ever after. \nElijah Moshinsky’s much-loved production of Rigoletto returns to the Sydney Opera House stage\, complete with its glamorous La Dolce Vita-inspired sets and costumes and scene-stealing Fiat 500. The revolving dolls-house style set gives cinematic detail to each scene. \nWe’ve assembled a brilliant cast led by Italian conductor Sesto Quatrini in his Opera Australia debut. Dalibor Jenis reprises his acclaimed performance as the tortured jester at the heart of Verdi’s masterpiece\, with Kang Wang as the Duke and rising star Gemma Nha as the jester’s daughter.

SUMMARY:Opera Australia | The Drover’s Wife
DESCRIPTION:They will say a story ended\, those who cannot understand\, no-one’s story ends forever\, our Dreaming is forever.\nMolly Johnson is a survivor. Heavily pregnant\, she’s left alone to care for her children in a remote Snowy Mountains shanty. \nBetween the snakes\, bullocks and hostile travellers on her doorstep\, she faces no shortage of threats. With her husband away droving sheep\, she faces them alone. \nBut when Yadaka\, an Aboriginal man evading colonial authorities\, disrupts Molly’s hard-won sanctuary\, the pair’s shared history of brutal hardships can no longer be ignored. \nThe Drover’s Wife is a monumental new opera based on the play\, novel and film by one of Australia’s leading artists\, Leah Purcell. With a ravishing score by George Palmer\, this new version reveals the symphonic soul of Purcell’s modern classic in its most expansive telling yet. \nMelodies soar with raw emotion. Luscious orchestrations capture the beauty and violence of the Australian High Country. Grand opera traditions meet contemporary Aboriginal storytelling. Australia’s newest opera star Nina Korbe (West Side Story on Sydney Harbour) leads the cast as the titular drover’s wife in a role that will leave you breathless. \n

SUMMARY:Opera Australia | Rigoletto
DESCRIPTION:A father’s curse\, a daughter’s fate. As innocence is shattered\, revenge becomes the only prayer.\nAt the Duke’s infamous parties\, one man’s words light the darkness with a sinister glitter. Among the glamorous girls and greasy gangsters\, Rigoletto serves his master with sharp wits and averted eyes. \nFrom the moment he wrote it\, Verdi knew he had a hit on his hands. The story has everything: royalty\, loyalty\, devotion\, lust and revenge. \nAnd the music? The music is sensational\, so full of hummable tunes that Verdi demanded complete secrecy from his premiere cast. The tenor was forbidden from even whistling the catchy ‘La donna è mobile’ outside of rehearsals. \nThe morning after Rigoletto’s triumphant première\, that melody rang out in the streets: a hit for ever after. \nElijah Moshinsky’s much-loved production of Rigoletto returns to the Sydney Opera House stage\, complete with its glamorous La Dolce Vita-inspired sets and costumes and scene-stealing Fiat 500. The revolving dolls-house style set gives cinematic detail to each scene. \nWe’ve assembled a brilliant cast led by Italian conductor Sesto Quatrini in his Opera Australia debut. Dalibor Jenis reprises his acclaimed performance as the tortured jester at the heart of Verdi’s masterpiece\, with Kang Wang as the Duke and rising star Gemma Nha as the jester’s daughter.
