Celebrate the centenary of one of Australia’s greatest operatic legends in a dazzling recital of vocal and instrumental brilliance. 

Coloratura sensation Alexandra Flood joins flutist Jonathan Henderson and pianist Vatche Jambazian for an unforgettable evening that honours the artistry of Dame Joan Sutherland – “La Stupenda” herself. 

Experience the brilliance of arias and works made famous by Sutherland, alongside breathtaking music that captures the dialogue between the soprano voice and its closest companion, the flute. From the emotional drama of Hamlet and Dinorah to the shimmering elegance of Ravel, Delibes, Händel and Bach, this program promises moments of pure virtuosity and radiant beauty. 

A celebration of voice, virtuosity and one of opera’s most iconic stars. This is a concert not to be missed.

It’s an opulent party, all glitz and glamour and Parisian charm. It’s an old-fashioned romance, flirty and funny and fabulous. It’s a Viennese waltz and you know all the steps.

The "Organ Symphony" is one of France's most important symphonies. The work's name, incidentally, does not originate from the composer – Saint-Saëns preferred to call it a "symphony with organ." The organ is "merely" one timbre among others – it is sparse, but its impact is all the more powerful. A piano duo is also part of the orchestra. While the "Organ Symphony" is not a religious composition, the melody of the "Dies Irae" nevertheless runs through the entire work. The two gigantic sections – approximately 20 and 15 minutes long respectively – contain the usual four symphony movements. Saint-Saëns considered this (his last) symphony to be his magnum opus.

Operetta has always been an escape from everyday life into a dream world. But what if what is happening in the world is so terrible that it can no longer be forgotten? In the first months of 1938, current political life intrudes into the Volksoper during rehearsals for the operetta Gruß und Kuss aus der Wachau. What do intolerance, discrimination and fascism do to the staff of the Volksoper?

In the course of rehearsals, the seizure of power by the National Socialists brings about serious changes for the Volksoper: dismissals follow at all levels of the house. A captivating look into the mirror of the past can also mean a confrontation with a painful period in the history of the Volksoper. We don't want to avoid that. By telling the story of the Volksoper staff, we preserve the memory of ALL victims. At the same time, we do not lose sight of the actions of the perpetrators, which could happen again at any time, but we also remember the countless people who did not raise their voices.

Said to pick up where Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony left left off, Bruckner’s transcendent Seventh Symphony was a monument to his hero Wagner.

They have love. They have art. They have each other. But you can’t eat poetry, and philosophy won’t warm a bitter winter.
