Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Gabriela Týlešová

With Tchaikovsky’s music, glittering visual spectacle and wonderful dancers, The Australian Ballet's The Sleeping Beauty is a thrilling night at the ballet.

In the first revival of National Ballet of Canada's 2022 Swan Lake, a strong corps de ballet and star turn by Genevieve Penn Nabity almost overcome a muddled visual concept. 

Turco inspired many a great opera director in the past; understandably, as it offers plenty of splendid comic situations. Simon Phillips' hilarious 2014 production is revived by Opera Australia.

Charming and hilarious by turn, this production fields a largely young and Kiwi cast.

Would Britain enjoy 'The Rabbits'? For that's how the new Australian family opera allegorises the colonial Poms who came to this Terra Nullius  Downunder, denying the existence of the native Aborigines - appearing as Marsupials in this opera.
