Performance review: Afrocentric, National Gallery of Victoria
Nightly performances that celebrate the African diaspora in Australia.
Theatre review: Australian Gothic Tales, The Butterfly Club
A lacklustre presentation of Australian stories that sidesteps Gothic elements entirely.
Opera review: Orpheus & Eurydice, Sydney Festival
Far from detracting from the enjoyment, acrobats add to the complexities of this classic opera.
Opera review: Il Tabarro, Sydney Festival
Ambitiously staged aboard a lightship, this production struggled to stay afloat.
Musical review: Grease: The Musical, Her Majesty's Theatre
It's colourful and energetic certainly, but this production does not do anything to update the original flavour.
Musical Theatre review: The Choir of Man, Arts Centre Melbourne
Singing and dancing in a pub setting brings frothy joy to all.
Opera review: Aida, QPAC
Musically first-rate and impressively sung, Verdi’s 'Aida' rises above the idiosyncrasies of this 21st century production.Â
Musical Review: Chicago, Crown Theatre, WA
One of the longest running musicals on Broadway is returning to tour Australia, first stop Perth.
Performance review: 35mm, Flight Path Theatre
Little Triangle's latest production is musical theatre inspired by photography.
Performance Review: At the End of the Land, PICA Performance Space, WA
A non-linear and Lynchian solo performance, with visual and aural extravagances.
