A richly sung Dido and Aeneas in an imaginative venue becomes an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Manuel de Falla’s rarely performed La Vida Breve and Giacomo Puccini’s comic Gianni Schicchi are quite contrasting mini-operas, united by common threads of deception and the clash of class distinction.

Young singers and new companies provide an enjoyable Dido and Aeneas in Adelaide.

A seamless combination of State Opera of South Australia and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra have created a Verdi Requiem the equal of which it would be hard to find.

First presented in Perth in 2002, West Australian Opera’s Il trovatore (a co-production with Opera Queensland and State Opera of South Australia) is dedicated to the memory of director Elke Neidhardt, and here the stage becomes hers.
