TOSCA - Quick Tix

Event Date: 08/10/2015, 07:30 pm

A Puccini Opera - not to be missed!
Featuring Opera Australia regulars; Anna-Louise Cole as TOSCA, Sitiveni Talei as SCARPIA & Martin Bu

An Intense and Intimate production.
A first time OPERA VAN DIEMENSLAND & SYDNEY INDEPENDENT OPERA collaboration, delivers an exciting original production combining audio visual design, orchestra and talent. Conducted by Steven Stanke, this show is not to be missed!

Music by Giacomo Puccini and libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, Tosca is a tour de force, delivering sweeping, lush orchestration and intense drama.

Puccini’s melodrama thrusts a volatile opera diva, a sadistic, lustful yet sophisticated head of police, and an idealistic artist, to collide head on.

Critics and audiences alike, often find themselves at odds with the stark contrast of beauty, disgust, love, violence and heroism that is Tosca. It is this very conflict of extremes, however, which aims to define the fabric of our humanity.

English National Opera - Peter Grimes

Event Date: 11/10/2015, 03:00 pm

Experience the masterpiece on the Big Screen!
Tickets for Event Cinemas Macquarie, 3pm show only

The bleak, enclosed world of a fishing village provides the backdrop for the story of fisherman Peter Grimes and his uneasy relationship with the other inhabitants. Following the death of Grimes's apprentice, the community presumes Grimes to be guilty.

Although he is cleared of any blame, the villagers no longer trust him, and when his new apprentice accidentally falls to his death, Grimes spirals towards a tragic breakdown.

The most significant British opera in over two centuries, Britten's Peter Grimes is a work of visceral and sustained beauty, and is notable for the orchestral interludes that depict the sea in different moods.

This is the first revival of David Alden's 2009 five-star sell-out production. ENO Music Director Edward Gardner again conducts the electrifying score, with Stuart Skelton heading an outstanding cast in his return to the title role.

The Real Thing

Event Date: 08/10/2015, 07:30 pm

It’s no trick loving someone at their best. Love is loving them at their worst!
New Theatre is very excited to bring one of Stoppard’s finest plays back to the Sydney stage.

Christopher Tomkinson, who takes on the central role of ‘Henry’, has extensive experience ranging across many productions for Sport for Jove, including The Crucible, Cyrano de Bergerac, and Hamlet, plus appearances for Bell Shakespeare, STC and Ensemble, and most recently Snugglepot and Cuddlepie for Christine Dunstan Productions.

Of The Real Thing Christopher says “The play is extraordinary. It's laugh out loud funny, powerfully moving and gives us profound insights into the wonderful and tragic nature of human relationships. The characters are some of the smartest, silliest, bravest, most generous and horrible people who show bitter insight into others and ridiculous ignorance about themselves.”

Days Since Incident - Zero

Event Date: 04/10/2015, 06:15 pm

Comedian Dane Hiser tells all at Sydney Fringe 2015 in his 2nd solo show!
Show 3

According to brainy types, a ‘Black Swan’ is a highly improbable event defined by it’s impact, it’s unpredictability and our desire to make it appear more predictable than it was.

Comedian Dane Hiser is not in control. His life is full of “shitloads of black swans”; a “river” of black swans, if you will. And Dane Hiser has no paddle.

To call his life “shambolic” and “like a monkey at the wheel of a tractor” would be an understatement as he hurtles through like, fumbling, stumbling, shuffling and making it up as he goes along. Put it this way: watching Dane in a tiny train toilet cubicle with an arm full of stuff and the separate desire not to pee on himself, would make for engaging reality television.

Following successful runs at Sydney Fringe Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe Festival, Dane Hiser unpacks his second solo show for the first time this September at Sydney Fringe 2015.

Join Dane as he explores the rare and unusual events of his daily existence and in the world around him in order to better understand his place in the world. Acclaimed author and academic Nassim Taleb believes you need to study the extreme in order to understand the common, and that is exactly what Dane will do in this show, in a much less brainy, and “hopefully” much funnier way.

“Flaunting ones foibles is part and parcel with being a stand-up comedian, but Dane Hiser manages to highlight his in a refreshing and compelling manner,” Nyssa Packham, Weekend Notes.

"When I first met Dane, I thought "he'll never be funny", then BAM!!! Like a superhero out of a phone booth...” Tommy Dean.
