THE TURK IN ITALY
 

The Turk in Italy is one of Opera Australia’s most daring and playful productions. Director Simon Phillips presents the uproarious Rossini comedy with a brilliant cast of leading opera talents including Paolo Bordogna as the Turk and Stacey Alleaume as the daring Fiorilla. The colourful score is complimented by the clever cartoonish sets and gelato-coloured costumes which offer a veritable feast for the senses. Conducted by the masterful Andrea Molino, the famous bel canto music of this comic opera skips and sparkles from the gruffest of bass notes to impossibly high soprano, unmatched in energy and guaranteed to have audiences pealing with laughter.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
