BERNADETTE ROBINSON in DIVAS
 

Ten huge voices, one single woman – ‘Divas’ was a show which surprised, delighted and made you really wish you could sing like the greats.


‘Divas’ was an homage to an international line-up of great singers, past and present, and allowed us to wander down memory lane and relive songs of yesteryear. And if we missed them the first time around, it was a chance to experience their greatness for the first time. 

Hearing famous songs vocalised by another voice can sometimes feel jarring, but with ‘Divas’, it felt like a seamless merging of the artist and Robinson. 

The show was a toe-tapping good time, with heartfelt moments and jaw-dropping vocal gymnastics, wrapped up together with a feeling of nostalgia and celebration.


Bernadette Robinson took the art of embodiment to a new level – imbuing each performance with humour, integrity and a mighty set of pipes. From Amy Winehouse to Miley Cyrus to Judy Garland – this show was filled with power, artistry and beauty.

    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
    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.
