Composer: Menotti, Gian Carlo (1911-2007)

Guildhall School of Music and Drama tackles Gian Carlo Menotti's rarity, a tale of stateless and paperless 'citizens of nowhere' seeking refuge amid Kafkaesque bureaucracy. 

This exquisite children’s opera, rarely performed in Adelaide, received a welcome return to inspire a new generation of admirers. 

Menotti's strange morality tale about the dangers of conjuring up responses from the Other Side gets an original and creative outing at Grimeborn, including an aerialist on stage at all times. 

The Atelier Lyrique of the Opéra de Montréal has a long tradition of nurturing incredible vocal talent, such talent which quite often develops into successful international careers in opera. It is, essentially, a young artists program for the most hard-working young singers in the region.

The Montreal International Musical Competition, this year devoted to voice, ended on a high note with the Winners’ Gala Concert on June 8. First, Second and Third Prize winners sang two arias each, but, in a gratifying show of solidarity with the remaining finalists, the program afforded concertgoers the opportunity to hear the five runners-up as well.
