SUMMARY:Victorian Opera: Capriccio

SUMMARY:Victorian Opera: Cheremushki
DESCRIPTION:A housing crisis\, income inequality and the pitfalls of progress – who would have thought that a Russian operetta from 1958 would ring so true today? \n\n\n\n\nThis witty production transports visionary composer Dmitri Shostakovich’s score and Vladimir Mass and Mikhail Chervinsky’s sarcastically funny libretto from a Soviet-era Khrushchev-style apartment complex to contemporary Melbourne. But this operetta makes light work of heavy issues through its darkly comedic use of magic realism into everyday struggles with a truth-telling park bench\, a phone booth for the pure of heart and a garden where flowers bloom for good people and wither for bad. \nFeaturing our ‘VO Emerges’ cast\, this will be your chance to see the next generation showcase their talents and innovative perspectives on the challenges we still face in Melbourne today. So step into a world where social challenges are examined through a lens of comedy\, satire and magic. \n\n\n\nAge Suitability: This production is recommended for ages 15+.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 22 Mar 7:30 PM; Thursday 23 Mar 7:30 PM; Friday 24 Mar 7:30 PM* Saturday 25 Mar 2:00 PM\, 7:30 PM\n\nRunning Time2 hours and 10 minutes (including one interval) \nTICKETS: $35 – $150  This performance is available as part of a subscription package.

SUMMARY:Victorian Opera: Cheremushki
DESCRIPTION:A housing crisis\, income inequality and the pitfalls of progress – who would have thought that a Russian operetta from 1958 would ring so true today? \n\n\n\n\nThis witty production transports visionary composer Dmitri Shostakovich’s score and Vladimir Mass and Mikhail Chervinsky’s sarcastically funny libretto from a Soviet-era Khrushchev-style apartment complex to contemporary Melbourne. But this operetta makes light work of heavy issues through its darkly comedic use of magic realism into everyday struggles with a truth-telling park bench\, a phone booth for the pure of heart and a garden where flowers bloom for good people and wither for bad. \nFeaturing our ‘VO Emerges’ cast\, this will be your chance to see the next generation showcase their talents and innovative perspectives on the challenges we still face in Melbourne today. So step into a world where social challenges are examined through a lens of comedy\, satire and magic. \n\n\n\nAge Suitability: This production is recommended for ages 15+.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 22 Mar 7:30 PM; Thursday 23 Mar 7:30 PM; Friday 24 Mar 7:30 PM* Saturday 25 Mar 2:00 PM\, 7:30 PM\n\nRunning Time2 hours and 10 minutes (including one interval) \nTICKETS: $35 – $150  This performance is available as part of a subscription package.
