Wagner’s Flying Dutchman with high calibre singing, a magnificent orchestra and innovative 3D effects gets a short yet successful season in Melbourne.

One’s upbringing to respect the elderly is challenged in a farcical, not so far-fetched family matter in Opera Australia’s Don Pasquale.

A new production of Show Boat comes to Melbourne with mixed results.

Rigoletto contains some of Verdi’s greatest melodies, and Opera Australia’s new production brings out the mixture of passion and darkness the heart of this story.

In a sense, the plot of Don Pasquale is timeless: it concerns an old man who comes between young lovers and meets his comeuppance.
