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: 5 Fridays in November
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. A glorious and grotesque\, dream-like melodrama\, this rarely-performed work for two soloists\, piano and small chorus is a must see. \nVictorian Opera’s performance stars Katherine McIndoe (soprano)\, Brenton Spiteri (tenor) and Alex Raineri (piano)\, with the Victorian Opera Youth Chorus Ensemble (VOYCE).

SUMMARY:Victorian Opera presents: The Second Hurricane
DESCRIPTION:In a storm-ravaged American town\, a group of high school students offer their help to a nearby county before becoming stranded in the wake of a second hurricane. Through trial and tribulation\, the teenagers must learn to work together if they’re going to survive. \nAaron Copland’s work was originally written for students when it premiered in New York in 1937. Eighty years on\, The Second Hurricane makes its Victorian Opera debut as the company’s youth opera for 2017 as part of our Education Program. It will be performed by a cast of singers aged 15 – 25 together with students from Victorian Opera’s Youth Chorus Ensemble (VOYCE). \nThe opera will be directed by Libby Hill with Angus Grant as musical director. Copland’s youth opera tells an important parable of the reaffirmation of community through surviving the darkness of disaster. \nMusical Director Angus Grant\nDirector Libby Hill\nSet & Costumer Designer Candice MacAllister\nLighting Designer Eduard Ingles Sancho \nVictorian Opera Chamber Orchestra
