The last days of Jesus Christ are told in one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most loved rock operas, performed by students of Scotch College.
16 year old Scotch College student, Ben Francis, is about to play, perhaps, the most important musical theatre role of his life – Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar.
'Jesus Christ Superstar' is a fitting musical for young people to study, but it is an ambitious move to select it as a school production.
The third and final opera in the Trilogy is inspired by the life of Mahatma Gandhi and his life-long search for truth through non-violent means.
After Scotch College triumphantly stormed the barricades last year with their production of 'Les Miserable', it was going to be interesting to see how they would fare this year with their version of 'West Side Story'...
The innovative theatre company, Slingsby, has joined forces with State Opera to create a “family opera”, based on the nonsense poetry of Edward Lear.
Stepping into the theatre, audiences will be transported to the lavish and magical strangeness of a carnival of the Victorian era
State Opera have found a winning approach to Offenbach’s operetta that is sure to win friends and influence people, but be prepared for aching ribs, because this production will have you laughing your head off. You might just want to see it twice.
This was another very fine night of opera from our State Opera company, but you might need to be very quick if you still want to get tickets, if opening night’s full house was anything to judge by.
Based around the story of Cole Porter and his relationship with his wife, Linda Lee, this is an evening filled with his music.
Director, Nadine Wood, Musical Director, Deborah Brennan, and Choreographer, Lauren Dempsey took on a daunting task and accomplished great things.
This is an excellent effort from all concerned and deserves full houses, but it only has a few performances, so book quickly.
