Performer: Anna Dowsley

Yaron Lifschitz mesmerises from the opening tableaux’s row of candles in his Purcell staging for Opera Australia, featuring Circa, a Brisbane-based circus company. 

Così fan tutte is a fun-filled night at the State Opera of South Australia, well cast and continuously entertaining without sacrificing musical or vocal values. 

Ravishing music and performances, a crazy G&S plot, but physicality that tends to distract in Constantine Costi's production.
