Melbourne

Theatre review: The Merry Wives of Windsor, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne
Another tried and true staging of a Shakespeare comedy from The Australian Shakespeare Company.

Uniting disparate strands of ecologically-engaged art, the exhibition covers vast geographical distances and pressing topics.

The musical director, arranger and orchestrator was described as 'a remarkable, talented, humble, passionate, kind soul' by Casey Donovan.

Musical review: The 3 Little Pigs, National Theatre Melbourne
An adequate production, but one that could have been better.

Installation review: BIG Sculpture, St Kilda Trail
A perfect summer's day activity: public art finding in a beachside location.

Exhibition review: Merrin Eirth, Vietta Korren-Steele, Works on Paper Salon, Tacit Gallery
Tacit’s last show for 2024 is a whirlpool of talent.

Performance review: Adventures in Neverland, St Kilda Botanical Gardens
Tinkerbell and pirates in the Botanical Gardens? Expect a heavy dose of child-friendly silliness.

Music review: Handel's Messiah, MSO, Hamer Hall
A Christmas tradition performed with dynamism and passion by the MSO.

Immersive review: Séance: Darkfield, Arts Centre Melbourne forecourt
Immersive audio in a shipping container. You've never been to a séance like this one before.

New street art gallery gives Hosier Lane an appropriate and impressive neighbour.
