Performer: Adrian Tamburini

An over-enthusiastic audience distracts from an excellent performance of Mozart's Requiem Mass by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and Choir with a first class quartet of soloists.

Although abbreviated, Pinchgut Opera's production of Handel's Rinaldo makes a powerful dramatic impact and exemplifies high musical values, with excellent orchestral playing and consistently fine singing.

Melbourne Opera's Walküre outdoes expectations, with really splendid singing and all-round performances, led by Lee Abrahmsen's Sieglinde.
