Live Review

Review: Benched (Darlinghurst Theatre Company)

Not a lot of spontaneity seemed permitted in the on-stage conversations, but this piece about disability, diversity and understanding brims with kindness, compassion and resolution.

Review: Ghosting the Party (Griffin Theatre Company)

The Lysicrates Prize-winner finally makes it to the stage, with something serious to say about contemporary life and mores – which it does with wit, excoriating humour and insight.

Review: Orontea (Pinchgut Opera)

Pinchgut’s sumptuous production of Orontea – with its quartet of feisty females – is sparkling entertainment.

Review: Mary Poppins (Disney, Cameron Mackintosh and Michael Cassel Group)

The musical is as practically perfect as the beloved nanny herself, and explodes from the stage with colour and joy.

Review: Before the Meeting (White Box Theatre)

Despite strong performances and some moments that really land, this show makes one wonder – why stage this play in Australia at all?

Review: Songs for the Soul (The Giovanni Consort)

This was a delightful concert despite challenging circumstances, one that showed the depth of repertoire by female composers in a gender-equal program.

Review: Austrian Encounters (Australian Boys Choir, The Vocal Consort, Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra)

A neglected choral gem by Papa Haydn’s younger brother gets its first performance in 250 years, and what a magnificent piece it is.

Review: Obscura II – milaythina (Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra)

This TSO concert was a celebration of our differences, our similarities, our histories and traditions.
