SUMMARY:fortyfivedownstairs Chamber Music Festival 2026: My Favourite Penis Poems (and Other Love Stories)
DESCRIPTION:My Favourite Penis Poems (and Other Love Stories) \nPulitzer Prize-winning composer David Del Tredici was one of the first major classical composers to fully embrace queerness in a radical act of joy\, eroticism\, and defiance. This concert highlights two sides of Del Tredici’s queer expression. There’s the outrageously camp My Favourite Penis Poems – a virtuosic\, hilarious\, and unabashed song cycle setting his favourite poems on the rise and fall of His Majesty\, the Penis – and the deeply moving Gay Life – a meditative and tender exploration of queer identity\, composed in 2001. Both works receive their Australian premieres\, performed by a sensational ensemble of musicians including acclaimed American pianist and Del Tredici’s longtime friend\, Marc Peloquin\, baritone Bailey Montgomerie\, tenor Boyd Owen\, and soprano Marjorie Hannah. \nFriday 24 April\, 7:30pm

SUMMARY:fortyfivedownstairs Chamber Music Festival 2026: Dante’s Lovers and Visionaries
DESCRIPTION:Dante’s Lovers and Visionaries\n \nInspired by Dante’s La Commedia\, this evocative program traces a journey from the torments of Inferno to the redemptive vision of Paradise. Liszt’s monumental Après une lecture du Dante features amongst a sequence of works exploring Dante’s most compelling figures\, including the tragic Francesca da Rimini. At the heart of the concert is the world-premiere of Gordon Kerry’s major song cycle Dante and Beatrice\, performed by soprano Rachel Joyce\, mezzo-soprano Dimity Shepherd\, tenor Boyd Owen\, and baritone Christopher Hillier. Drawing on Sir Samuel Griffith’s English translation (OUP\, 1911)\, with story adaptation by Margot Costanzo and libretto by Costanzo and Kerry\, the cycle charts Dante’s spiritual passage toward Beatrice. Music by Granados and new commissions\, including Gulliver Poole’s Paper Love\, create an unmissable Dantean tableau. \nWednesday 22 April\, 7:30pm

SUMMARY:Master Class
DESCRIPTION:I have always been fascinated by Maria Callas. By the voice\, the drama and the myth. How did she lose her voice? How did she lose the weight? Did she really die of a broken heart or was she killed by her maid? And perhaps the most fascinating question; did she and Aristotle Onassis have a son? The rumours circling Callas exceed those of most movie stars\, and amongst opera singers\, her legend is unparalleled.\nAfter producing Playing Rock Hudson together at the Malthouse theatre last year\, Michele Bauer and I joined forces to establish Left Bauer Productions. For our first project\, I pitched Terrence McNally’s Master Class\, a play inspired by Callas’ 1971 Juilliard Master Classes. Because of our shared background\, I wanted to find a piece that combined opera and straight theatre. Master Class provides that rare opportunity.\nCallas was dangerous\, which made her thrillingly unpredictable to her fans and worryingly inconsistent to her detractors.\nUltimately our hope is for Master Class to provide Melbourne audiences with a unique and entertaining theatrical experience they’re unlikely to see elsewhere\, and to honour Callas’ extraordinary artistry and the life that inspired and was driven by her passion. \nMaster Class is proudly supported by the Hellenic Museum\, where a special gala preview will be held on August 16. \nTerrence McNally’s Master Class previews at fourtyfivedownstairs on Tuesday 19 August at 8pm. Performances run from 19-28 August Tue-Sat 8pm\, matinees Sat-Sun 4.30pm. For full details click here! \nFor more information on Left Bauer’s upcoming shows go to Left Bauer.
