Compassion: Lior & Nigel Westlake
 

Australian singer-songwriter Lior and acclaimed composer Nigel Westlake team up to present “Compassion” with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

Based on Hebrew-Arabic text, “Compassion” is a symphonic song cycle that unites Lior’s energising vocal range with Nigel Westlake’s orchestral writings, performed by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Audiences will be immersed in moments of ethereal beauty and lyricism that crosses cultural and emotional divides.

The journey doesn’t end there. Lior pours his passion into a range of songs from his award-winning career. From “This Old Love” and “Bedouin Song” to “If I Lost Your Love” – his musical influences transport us to the harmonies and rhythms of the Middle East, and back home.

    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.
