SUMMARY:The Australian Ballet: Flora
DESCRIPTION:Flora marks the fourth time the companies have joined forces\, and in this first full-length collaboration\, Bangarra’s signature storytelling style takes you on a journey through the evolution of Australian flora. An unmissable new work\, Flora traces the profound influence of major historic and environmental events on both the landscape and its people. \nFrom the sleeping yams beneath the earth\, to the gums that breathe our air and stand proud over generations\, flora is living witness to Australia’s unfolding history. \nWhen the ships brought animals that trample and weeds that choke\, flora endured. Through fire\, flora renews and regenerates. The resilience of flora parallels the resilience of Australia’s First Peoples. \nWith distinctive choreography from Mirning woman Frances Rings\, Bangarra’s Artistic Director and Co-CEO\, an original score composed by Kalkadungu man and internationally renowned composer William Barton\, dynamic costumes from Meriam Samsep woman Grace Lillian Lee\, set design by Elizabeth Gadsby\, lighting design by Karen Norris and Cultural Consultancy from Matthew Doyle\, a descendant of the Muruwari Aboriginal nation. \nOur most significant collaboration to date\, with an ensemble of over 35 dancers drawn from both companies\, Flora is a new chapter in Australian performance. \nJourney through our living history in this unique dance experience. \n12 – 21 March \nRegent Theatre\, Melbourne \nTICKETS: $216 – $38

SUMMARY:Opera Australia: Orpheus & Eurydice
DESCRIPTION:Fall into an ecstatic dream…or is it a nightmare?\nJourney to the underworld and back. Gluck’s heartbreaking opera follows the grieving Orpheus into the jaws of Hades to rescue his beloved Eurydice. He must complete his quest without looking back\, or lose Eurydice forever. \nAwe-inspiring acrobatics meet Gluck’s exquisite music in a genre-busting production\, a sell-out hit of the 2024 Sydney Festival. Projections seamlessly integrate surtitles into the action on stage\, as brilliant singers come together with the trailblazing circus artists of Circa\, one of Australia’s most successful cultural exports. \nIn this visually stunning production\, Circa’s Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz has created a mesmerising experience\, exploring the intersection between love and death that is the beating heart of Orpheus & Eurydice. \nThe role of Orpheus demands vocal beauty and dramatic virtuosity\, and we’re delighted to bring the world’s best to your stage in extraordinary British countertenor Iestyn Davies. He performs opposite Australian soprano Samantha Clarke\, making her role debut singing both Eurydice and Amor under the baton of conductor Dane Lam. \n\n\n\n\n\nPerformed in Italian with English surtitles \n\n\n\nPlease note: This production contains infrequent partial nudity and some strobe lighting and flashing lights.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2–5 December 2025\, 7.30pm \n\nApproximately 80 minutes\, with no interval. \n\n\n\nRegent Theatre 191 Collins St\, Melbourne \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: $295 – $39

SUMMARY:Opera Australia: Carmen
DESCRIPTION:Smuggler\, seductress\, risk-taker\, rebel.\nWho is this woman that turns every head?\nWhen Carmen meets Don José\, sparks fly. She won’t give up her freedom\, and Don José won’t give up his girl. Their smouldering passion sets the stage for tragedy\, but first\, Bizet gives us an adrenaline-pumping ride through lust\, jealousy and spectacle. \nThis visceral opera is thrilling from the moment the curtain rises and the orchestra races away with the overture. The music has it all: explosions of colour\, tender love songs\, sensual dances\, massive choruses\, and always\, underneath\, the beating pulse of danger. \nOne of Australia’s great theatre directors\, Melbourne Theatre Company’s Anne-Louise Sarks offers a bold new production of the opera classic\, leaning into the revolutionary heart of Bizet’s once groundbreaking opera. This is a Carmen for our time\, asking urgent questions about opera’s iconic femme fatale\, whose dance with destiny ends in disaster. \nAustralian opera sensation Danielle de Niese and Sian Sharp share the iconic title role\, alongside Diego Torre and Abraham Breton as Don José. \n\n\n\nCarmen Danielle de Niese (15\, 18\, 20\, 22\, 25 Nov)\nSian Sharp (17\, 19\, 21\, 24 Nov)\nDon José Abraham Bretón (15\, 18\, 20\, 22\, 25 Nov)\nDiego Torre (17\, 19\, 21\, 24 Nov)\nEscamillo Phillip Rhodes (15\, 18\, 20\, 22\, 25 Nov)\nLuke Gabbedy (17\, 19\, 21\, 24 Nov)\nMicaëla Jennifer Black\nZuniga Richard Anderson\nEl Dancairo Alexander Hargreaves\nRemendado Virgilio Marino\nMorales Nathan Lay\nFrasquita Jane Ede\nMercedes Angela Hogan\nLillas Pastia Ruth Strutt\nOrchestra Orchestra Victoria\n\nOpera Australia Chorus \n\n\n\n\nRegent Theatre\, 191 Collins St\, Melbourne \n\n\n\nLanguage Performed in French with English surtitles.\n\n\nRunning time Approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes\, including one interval.\n\n\nPlease note This production contains a racial slur\, adult themes\, including sexual references and graphic depictions of murder and violence against women.\nTICKETS; From $79

SUMMARY:Opera Australia: The Barber of Seville
DESCRIPTION:Beyond haircuts and beard trims\, this canny barber is the city’s matchmaking maestro!\nAlmaviva is wealthy\, stealthy and head over heels. Rosina is witty\, pretty and just as smitten.

He sets to work to unite the young lovers in an evening of disguises and duplicity. \nThis rollicking\, laugh-out-loud comedy took a young Rossini just 13 days to write. Playful energy sparkles through as many famous tunes as you can pack into two-and-a-half hours. \nA cast of great voices and high spirits play among a marvellous set of cartoonish proportions — a world inspired by 1920s silent films\, featuring a life-size doll’s house as its centrepiece. \nAustralian Figaros Samuel Dundas and Simon Meadows lead some of our best comic talents in this side-splitting romp through Seville. \nPerformed in Italian with English surtitles.\nigaro Samuel Dundas (31 Oct\, 3 & 5 Nov); Simon Meadows (1 & 4 Nov)\nRosina Helen Sherman (31 Oct\, 3 & 5 Nov); Emily Edmonds (1 & 4 Nov)\nCount Almaviva Shanul Sharma (31 Oct\, 3 & 5 Nov); John Longmuir (1 & 4 Nov)\nDr Bartolo Andrew Moran (31 Oct\, 3 & 5 Nov); Shane Lowrencev (1 & 4 Nov)\nDon Basilio David Parkin\nBerta Jane Ede\nOrchestra Victoria\n\nOpera Australia Chorus \n\n\nRunning time Approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes\, including one interval.\n\n\nPlease note This production contains gunshots and strobe lighting effects.\nRegent Theatre\, 191 Collins St\, Melbourne
