A fusion of urban arts and classical music with multigenerational appeal.
Opera review: Aphrodite, Carriageworks
A collaboration between the Sydney Chamber Opera and Omega Ensemble that favours cerebral engagement over emotional impact.

Nick Enright's 'Blackrock' is sadly as relevant today as it was in 1995 when it was first performed.
Theatre review: Happy-Go-Wrong, fortyfivedownstairs
