Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Stuart Maunder

Sometimes referred to as “the great Australian opera” ,Voss has had few Australian airings since its 1986 premiere. This new production shows why it is held in such high regard. 

A full-on production of Britten’s The Turn of The Screw produces richness and awe, with a magnificent cast and musical excitement from the baton of Britten scholar Paul Kildea.

A semi-staged concert that boasts strong musical performances and appealing production values makes a spirited case for reappraising Gilbert and Sullivan's penultimate collaboration.

Stuart Maunder directs a lavishly costumed cast, Derek Clark conducts fine playing and singing and Isabel Baquero’s choreography sparkles.

Stuart Maunder's much-travelled staging of Sondheim's classic arrives at the State Opera of South Australia, starring Ben Mingay and Antoinette Halloran in the leads. 

Performing Carmen in the open works well. This open-air Adelaide event combined wonderful music and delightful singing, making for an impressive evening.
