The second part of Opera Australia's Ring Cycle sees digital effects employed with greater restraint, delivering a production that is by turns moving and thrilling. 

The opening Opera Australia's much-delayed Ring cycle contains wonderful visuals, and a standout performance from Warwick Fyfe as Alberich, but also moments of bafflement and excess.

The Australian Ballet’s current production of Swan Lake is ballet at its best: beautiful classical dance and music, intense emotion, exquisite costumes, dramatic sets and lighting.

The Bolshoi delivers a big, bold, and explosive Spartacus in the way that only the Bolshoi can.

The Bolshoi are beautiful but uncertain dancers of Balanchine in Brisbane.

Vivacious dancing and abundant joie de vivre in La Scala Ballet's Don Quixote

La Scala Ballet delights with a beautifully-danced Giselle for the company's first Australian visit.

Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the incidental music by Mendelssohn it inspires both employ a wide range of expressive techniques in their respective medium.
