SUMMARY:Lyric Opera: Biographica
DESCRIPTION:Hot on the heels of Lyric Opera’s multi-award-winning hit production Iphis is the Victorian premiere of Biographica. This 2017 Australian opera is composed by Mary Finsterer with libretto by Tom Wright was the winner of the 2018 APRA|AMCOS Art Music Award for Vocal Work. Scored for eleven musicians\, five singers and one actor\, Biographica blends spoken and sung text with shimmering orchestral colours in a contemporary reinterpretation of the essence of the Italian Renaissance. \nCentred on the real life of Gerolamo Cardano\, a sixteenth century scientist\, mathematician\, linguist and gambler\, this opera is a poignant exploration of the psyche of a man whose brilliance and ‘self destructive’ nature coexisted in a captivating and devastating dance. Cardano’s ground-breaking contributions to the realm of probability\, innovations in sign language and the invention of the combination lock\, have left an indelible mark on history. Beneath the surface of his profound achievements lay an enigmatic and often tormented soul. This opera interrogates the question of what really made a ‘renaissance man’. \nBiographica is a new production created by the multi-award-winning team of Heather Fairbairn (Director)\, Niklas Pajanti (Lighting Designer)\, Savanna Wegmann (Set & Costume Design) and Lyric’s Artistic Director\, Patrick Burns (Conductor). \nFri 22 Sep 7:30pm (Preview); Sat 23 Sep 7:30pm (Opening); Tue 26 Sep 7:30pm; Thu 28 Sep 7:30pm\nSat 30 Sep 7:30pm; Sun 1 Oct 2:30pm       Approx duration: 90 minutes \nTICKETS: Full price $48.24incl. A$3.24 Fee; concession $37.74incl. A$2.74 Fee or $20 \nLocation: Theatre Works\, 14 Acland Street\, St Kilda

SUMMARY:Lyric Opera and Theatre Works: Iphis
DESCRIPTION:Elena Kats-Chernin’s first opera\, IPHIS\, is a 70-minute chamber work written for 6 singers and 9-piece chamber orchestra.\n\nBased on Ovid’s METAMORPHOSIS\, with a libretto by Richard Toop\, Iphis is forced to grow up in secret as a boy due to her overbearing father who only wants to have sons in his family. Years later\, the ruse starts to unravel as Iphis’ father presents the Ianthe as a budding bride to his supposed son. As they fall in love\, they are faced with finding their own way forwards and becoming the people they were meant to be. IPHIS shines a light onto the subject of gender\, relationships\, and identity in modern society. Musically the work is a rich pastiche drawing on the cabaret traditions of Les Six and Kurt Weill\, with echoes of Mozart and Stravinsky. \nLyric is a bold and creative opera company committed to developing operatic artists and enriching the understanding of what opera can be. Under the direction of Katy Maudlin (SLAP. BANG. KISS.\, Right Now\, Antigone X)\, with designs by the wildly creative Brynna Lowen\, lighting by the multi-award winning Richard Vabre\, and conducted by Lyric’s new Artistic Director – Patrick Burns\, this production will entertain and move audiences in equal measure. Lyric was the winner of the 2019 Green Room Award for Contribution to the Development of Opera in Victoria. \n\nVENUE: Theatre Works \n\n\nDURATION: 75 Minutes (No Interval) \n\n\nWARNINGS: Mild Language Warning \n\n\nDATES & TIMES \n\n\nFriday 26 August\, 7:30pm (Opening Night)\nSaturday 27 August\, 2:30pm (Matinee)\nTuesday 30 August\, 7:30pm\nWednesday 31 August\, 7:30pm\nThursday 1 September\, 7:30pm\nFriday 2 September\, 7:30pm\nSaturday 3 September\, 7:30pm
