In einer reich bebilderten und bunt ausgestatteten Revue erweckt der Dirigent Matthew Toogood das Erfolgsmusical vom Broadway auf der Opernbühne zu neuem Leben.

The 1957 production of Parsifal, with its traditional staging and dreamy imageries, was a perfect backdrop to showcase Wagner's celebration of stage play with music on Good Friday.

For the past ten years, Pinchgut Opera has established a reputation for excellence through mounting one opera production annually in Sydney (the name derives from an island in Sydney’s harbour, established as a prison from the beginnings of settlement). Their focus has hitherto been on lesser-known Baroque works, with a few later 18th-century outliers.
