Opera review: Aphrodite, Carriageworks

A collaboration between the Sydney Chamber Opera and Omega Ensemble that favours cerebral engagement over emotional impact.

A young man looks shocked while another youth shouts at him in the background. A scene from Lunatix Theatre's 2025 production of 'Blackrock' at The MC Showroom.

Theatre review: Blackrock, The MC Showroom

Nick Enright's 'Blackrock' is sadly as relevant today as it was in 1995 when it was first performed.

A fair-skinned woman, wearing black shorts and a black waistcoat, stands in a constricting shroud of paper (perhaps representing paperwork) on a bare, industrial-looking stage. This is Andi Snelling in her solo show 'Happy-Go-Wrong' at fortyfivedownstairs.

A poet and a cellist combine forces for a powerful night out.

Theatre review: The Play That Goes Wrong, Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House

On its 10th anniversary this play is as silly and entertaining as it was a decade ago.

Three women in a white space with holes in the roof, floor and sides.
