Neue Kritikenmehr...
A beautifully sung and performed Roméo et Juliette in Perth
Samantha Clarke and Alasdair Kent are perfectly cast as Gounod's star crossed lovers with an excellent supporting cast at West Australian Opera.

The music plays second fiddle to Australian circus company Circa in Yaron Lifschitz’s production of Gluck's great opera.
A peerless Violetta in Opera Australia's Traviata revival
Emotions on stage are matched by those rising from the pit as Sarah Giles' popular production returns to Sydney.
Julius Caesar – or some of it – from Pinchgut Opera
Handel's Giulio Cesare is heavily abridged in Sydney, but generally well-performed musically, albeit with a rather awkward staging by Neil Armfield.
Mozart in Perth: excellent soloists, well-honed choir and orchestra
An over-enthusiastic audience distracts from an excellent performance of Mozart's Requiem Mass by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and Choir with a first class quartet of soloists.
