Amazing Breaking the Waves: Scottish Opera at the Adelaide Festival

Brian Angus, 13 Mar

Breaking the Waves is a remarkable opera. Scottish Opera has brought a thrilling cast, orchestra and team to Adelaide, and its audiences are all the richer for it.

Livermore updates the scene to the 1930s, but seems to be setting Mussolini's Italians against invading Germans.

The Australian String Quartet joins the West Australian Symphony Orchestra under Ludovic Morlot for an enjoyable and timely round of Beethoven interleaved with John Adams' homage to the 250-year old composer.

Brian Angus, 28 Feb

A work designed to be performed in church has become a dramatic music theatre event that captured and held me enthralled throughout in a meditation on both death and life.
