The Cherry Orchard | 2026 Adelaide Festival
A modern re-working of Chekhov’s play of the same name, perhaps comparable to Bernstein’s re-working of Romeo and Juliet in West Side Story.
Perle Noire: Meditations for Joséphine | 2026 Adelaide Festival
We are given, not a survey of her life, but rather a glimpse into Baker’s psyche.
Double Take | Broken Box Mime Theater
The whole show was one in which technical wizardry was wholly at the service of delighting, provoking, or astonishing the audience.
The Beethoven Sonatas – Moonlight | Olli Mustonen
There is no denying the dramatic force of these sonatas, and there is drama in spades in Mustonen’s renderings.
Marwood and Mustonen | 2026 Adelaide Festival
