Pride and Prejudice, an adaptation in words and music is the theatrical retelling of Jane Austen’s most famous work.

Film, television and stage icon, Nadine Garner, internationally acclaimed violinist Madeleine Easton and rising star of classical piano, Dan Le join together for this theatrical retelling in words and music of Jane Austen’s most famous work.
The enduring story of the romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy is presented in an intimate drawing-room setting, in much the same way that Jane herself first read the story aloud to the Austen family and their closest friends. Weaving around Austen’s own words is Carl Davis’ magical score from the much-loved BBC TV drama series of Pride and Prejudice.
Faithfully adapted from what many consider the greatest romance novel of the English Language, Pride and Prejudice plays at Arts Centre Melbourne for a strictly limited season.

The Umbilicals take the energy of live performance and the spectacle of cinema and smash them together into a new show performed simultaneously on stage and the big screen. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen, and nothing they’ve ever done, and it will blow your mind way more literally than you are expecting.
The Umbilical Brothers are an international comedy phenomenon. Their unique mix of mind-bending comedy and back-breaking physicality has taken them to 40 countries; from stadiums supporting Robin Williams to stadiums supporting N’Sync.
The Umbies describe their new show The Distraction as “a big screen, special effect extravaganza, performed live. It will blow your mind!”

Fly Away Peter

Arts Centre Melbourne and Sydney Chamber Opera in association with Melbourne Festival present
Fly Away Peter
Based on David Malouf’s classic novel Fly Away Peter, this new contemporary opera tells the story of Jim Saddler, a visionary young birdwatcher from Queensland thrust into the nightmare of the Western Front during WWI.
Through Jim’s voice of delicate insight, this one act chamber opera travels from a land of life to a panorama of horror.
In honour of the Gallipoli centenary, this profound new contribution to Australian opera tells a story of the Australian spirit that begins at peace, builds to tragedy, and ends in transcendence.
