SUMMARY:Victorian Opera: Boojum!
DESCRIPTION:Martin Wesley-Smith\, Peter Wesley-Smith\nBoojum!\nWith dark twists and humorous turns\, Boojum! blends the much-loved tale of Alice in Wonderland with Lewis Carroll’s nonsensical poem The Hunting of the Snark. \nMeanwhile\, it provides an imagined insight into the writer and the sensational world he created. Boojum! will transport you into his psyche as he grapples with his dual identities: the Reverend Charles Dodgson\, and his pen name Lewis Carroll\, the beloved children’s author. It will introduce you to an array of characters from both these worlds. It follows a young Alice as she meets folk from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland series\, and it examines the relationship between Dodgson and the real-life inspiration for Alice\, Alice Liddell. \nSitting somewhere between opera and musical comedy\, Boojum! will be performed as part of our VO Emerges program. \nAnd what is a Snark? What is a Boojum? Well\, that’s up to you. \n\n\n\n\nFriday 7 November\, 7.30 pm\nSaturday 8 November\, 7.30 pm\nSunday 9 November\, 2.00 pm\nFriday 14 November\, 7.30 pm\nSaturday 15 November\, 7.30 pm\nSunday 16 November\, 2.00 pm\nFriday 21 November\, 7.30 pm\nSaturday 22 November\, 7.30 pm\nSunday 23 November\, 2.00 pm \nDuration: 1hr 40mins\, with no interval \nLanguage Sung in English \n\n\n\nVenue Horti Hall\, Hemstritch Studio31 Victoria St\, Melbourne 3000\nTICKETS: $60 – $30

SUMMARY:Victorian Opera: Katya Kabanova
DESCRIPTION:In a provincial town\, Katya’s dull\, loveless life is made worse by her tyrannical mother-in-law\, Kabanicha.

SUMMARY:Victorian Opera: Follies
DESCRIPTION:The star wattage burns bright as theatre royalty unite for an unmissable production in Australian musical theatre history. Amongst its glittering cast\, Follies stars Marina Prior\, Antoinette Halloran\, Adam Murphy\, Alexander Lewis\, Colette Mann\, Geraldene Morrow\, Evelyn Krape\, Merlyn Quaife\, Rhonda Burchmore and Geraldine Turner. \nIn a run-down theatre scheduled for demolition\, former chorus girls reunite to honour their performances there during the interwar years.

But as the women remember those glamorous years\, the faded theatre is propelled back through time and transforms into its former grandeur. Sparkling ghosts of their youth perform old numbers\, and the women’s unfinished business soon becomes clear. \nJoin us as we enter Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman’s world of 1971 Broadway and hear the incredible line-up of iconic songs originating from Follies\, including ‘Broadway Baby’\, ‘I’m Still Here’\, ‘Losing my Mind’\, ‘Could I leave you?’ and ‘In Buddy’s Eyes’\, filling the spectacular Palais Theatre. \n\n\nSaturday 1 February\, 7.30 pm\nMonday 3 February\, 7.30 pm\nTuesday 4 February\, 7.30 pm\nWednesday 5 February\, 7.30 pm\nThursday 6 February\, 7.30 pm \nDuration\n2 hours and 15 minutes\, plus an interval \nLanguage Sung in English \nTICKETS: $180 – $30 \n\n\n\n\nPalais Theatre\, St Kilda

DESCRIPTION:Friday 15 November: She\, Who Should Have Been A Queen \nWho is speaking up for the heroines of the great operatic canon? Antoinette Halloran (soprano) is reimagining these iconic characters with a contemporary feminist perspective\, often with humorous or profoundly moving results. \nAntoinette will explore their journeys through a series of poems she penned during the pandemic lockdowns. The poems are set to the contemporary compositions of Linda Kouvaras. Buy now \nFriday 22 November: Fellow Travelers \nThis performance will showcase selected scenes from Gregory Spear’s opera Fellow Travelers\, based on the 2007 novel by Thomas Mallon (and adapted into a mini series in 2023). \nFellow Travelers delves into a secret\, gay love affair between Hawkins Fuller and Tim Laughlin in Washington DC during the Lavender Scare in 1950s. Then\, Senator Joseph McCarthy’s relentless pursuit of suspected communists and gays within the US Government led to mass dismissals\, horrendous persecution and tragedy. \nThis concert will showcase duet scenes between the two lovers\, accompanied by Coady Green and Kevin Tamanini on the piano. It stars Boyd Owen (tenor) as Tim Laughlin and Adrian Tamburini (bass-baritone) as Hawkins Fuller. Buy now \nFriday 29 November: The Diary of One Who Disappeared \nLeoš Janáček’s quasi-operatic song-cycle takes place from midnight to midnight. It tells the captivating story of a village boy smitten with a girl.

SUMMARY:Victorian Opera: Sweeney Todd
DESCRIPTION:“And what if none of their souls were saved? They went to their maker impeccably shaved.” \nOnce\, there was a barber who had it all – a happy life\, a beautiful wife. But it all ended in a savage act of betrayal.

Mrs Lovett’s reputation of serving the best pies in town may be short-lived as Sweeney’s thirst for vengeance teeters on the razor’s edge. \nConsidered one of the most powerful\, dramatic and theatrical horror tales ever set to music\, this masterpiece of musical theatre will leave hearts racing and spines tingling long after the final curtain falls. \n\n\n\nAge Recommendation: This performance is recommended for ages 12+. \nTactile Tour: Friday 20 September\, 6.30pm (before 7.30pm performance)Tactile Tours allow audiences to feel key elements of a performance such as props\, the set\, and costumes.
