Hey @AnnastaciaMP I am a QLD RESIDENT who is fully vaccinated, PCR tested (which took places from real covid cases), trying desperately to apply for a border pass (which I have to do 3 days prior to get back home), but the pass doesn’t come through for 10 days?! GET ME HOME!
FROM DOWN UNDER: In a production as spectacularly staged as it is intelligently conceived, #Faust is another mighty achievement from @OperaAustralia , demonstrating the full extent of its resources to sterling effect, says @SimonManinChair https://t.co/mJ7YaJbknl
"Musically outstanding and a theatrical triumph, this Faust is easily among the best opera experiences in Melbourne this year," says @MaunderMaxima. @OperaAustralia

The Soldiers' Chorus is the big hit in Gounod's Faust, a tune that you'll be humming as you leave the theatre.

Did you know that Puccini was quite the Pinkerton himself? A womaniser who had quite a reputation among the ladies. He wrote Madama Butterfly at a time when his marriage was falling apart, as news of his recent affairs broke.

Opera Australia has announced that next year’s Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour will be La traviata, the work with which the company’s big outdoor series was launched nine years ago. @OperaAustralia
A gobsmacking Madama Butterfly by @OperaAustralia at @SydOperaHouse. The Graeme Murphy and Janet Vernon partnership can be clearly seen (if you are familiar with their Sydney Dance Company work). Unconventional. Fun.
In 2020, we present La Traviata on Sydney Harbour — the opera that inspired Moulin Rouge.
Experience the joy and heartache of the world’s most popular opera at Sydney’s best night out.
Tickets will be on sale from 16 July. https://t.co/qMeSZyaue1
