Australia Premiere Of Stephen Hough's Third...

Event Date: 16/04/2016, 02:00 pm

Stephen Hough is returning to Australian for his fourth Musica Viva Tour
Hough will bring a wonderful recital program offering a listening experience of great emotion and breathtaking virtuosity.

Over the course of his career, Stephen Hough has distinguished himself as a true polymath, not only securing a reputation as a uniquely insightful concert pianist, but also as a writer and composer. His artistic activities extend to painting, and he is a noted connoisseur of fine tea, perfume and hats.
Hough’s upcoming recital program lightly references some of these extra-musical things.

Hough will open his Australian program with one of Schubert’s late sonatas, a ‘sonata of sighs’, thought to have been written just after the diagnosis of what was to be his final illness.

“In the Schubert there almost isn’t any light at all,” says Hough. “Even when it goes into the major, it’s more heartbreaking than it is in the minor – that’s of course something that Schubert does really well.”

Hough describes the whole of the first half as a big progression from darkness to light and continues, “In the Franck Prelude, Chorale and Fugue there is this incredible, deep-suffering piece that, at the end, has this amazing opening-out. So you really do come out of the darkness.”

Following the Schubert and Franck is Hough’s latest piano work, the Sonata No. 3, ‘Trinitas’, which will make its Australian premiere on this tour.

In the new sonata, commissioned jointly by the Catholic magazine The Tablet and the Barbician Centre, Hough – whose Catholic faith is a driving force in his creativity – has been inspired by the symbolism of the number three and what he sees as the parallel dogmas of the Trinity in the church and of 12-tone serialism in music.

NOTE : winning tickets can be collected from the venue on the day of their performance, from the Guest Ticket Desk in the entry foyer of City Recital Hall, from one hour prior to the performance.

Bard To The Bone

Event Date: 04/04/2016, 08:00 pm

Sydney's favourite Impro-Shakespeare hour - BARD TO THE BONE - is back!
The Post-Haste Players begin their fifth year with aplomb, delighting audiences at The Old Fitzroy Hotel
with a brand new improvised Shakespearean play on two Monday nights in April.

"We're hugely excited to be bringing Bard back to the Old Fitz," said Director Oliver Burton.

"It's a perfect space for us to transform into the courts, battlefields, taverns and chapels of Shakespeare's world."

Using no more than a word from the audience, (though mid-show shouts, jeers and animal noises are highly encouraged)
the company weaves the tropes, language and scenarios of Shakespeare, infused with a touch of our time,
into long-form impro fun. It’s Elizabethan fun on the run, comedy by the seat of their… breeches!
But even though it's all made up on the spot by some of Sydney's most talented improvisers, rehearsals are compulsory, warns Burton.
"We've been in continual practice since our last appearance. Drilling the language, discovering the imagery, developing character:
that's the kind of groundwork that allows us to let go and just play on the night."

"We love Shakespeare and in this 400th year since his death, it's our pleasure to honour him
with the kind of silly, irreverent approach we think he would have loved."

Bard to the Bone plays on the 4th and 25th of April at 8PM.
Be there, or be thou a most common shape / Horribly dull and ever four-sided!

The Post-Haste Players present BARD TO THE BONE
Monday 4 and 25 April 8pm

Mr Stink Quick Tix

Event Date: 01/04/2016, 11:30 am

Based on the book Mr Stink by David Walliams
David Walliams’ (Little Britain) award-winning book comes to life on stage in this brand new production directed by Jonathan Biggins (Pete The Sheep).

It all starts when Chloe, just about the loneliest girl in the world, makes friends with Mr Stink, the local tramp. Sure he smells a bit, but he’s the only person who’s ever been nice to her.

So, when Mr Stink needs a place to stay, Chloe decides to hide him in the garden shed. But Chloe’s about to learn that some secrets have a way of leading to disaster. And speaking of secrets, there just might be more to Mr Stink than meets the nose…

The team behind the stage productions of The 13- 26- and 52-Storey Treehouses return with this very smelly tale…hold on to your nose!
