SUMMARY:Opera Australia: "Don Giovanni"
DESCRIPTION:NECOM is proud to present Opera Australia’s newest touring production of Don Giovanni for a once-only performance. \nIt is the last day of Don Giovanni’s life\, but he doesn’t know that.  For opera’s own Casanova\, it’s just another day of pleasure seeking.  Seducing a bride on her wedding day. Breaking into a woman’s bedroom in the dead of night. Killing her furious father. Even before the curtain rises\, Mozart reveals Don Giovanni’s fate.  An earth-shattering chord from the orchestra signals the gates of hell clanging open. The scoundrel’s debauched days are at an end. \n***Please note: Don Giovanni will be performed in Italian*** \nPatron Advice: Suitable for 16+ years; strong/coarse language; mature/adult themes; sexual references

SUMMARY:Central West Comedy @ Welder's Dog Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Claire Hooper is the least fun person she knows. She’s used to getting her dopamine from answering emails and getting places on time. But she is gonna do what it takes – joke t-shirts\, family glamping\, practical jokes\, birdwatching\, laser tag\, rock concerts – to become fun again. A rollercoaster of jokes from an adult who doesn’t want to die thinking; well at least I said no to everything. As seen on The Gala\, Have You Been Paying Attention and Claire Hooper’s House of Games. \nUsually described as a ‘New Zealand-born funnyman’\, Tony Martin has been pissfarting about in Australian comedy for the last 35 years. On TV\, he worked on ‘The D-Generation’\, ‘The Late Show’\, ‘The Panel’\, ‘Kath & Kim’\, ‘Thank God You’re Here’\, ‘Upper Middle Bogan’\, and the current hit ‘Have You Been Paying Attention?’  On radio\, he was one half of ‘Martin/Molloy’ and the creator of ‘Get This’. On film\, he wrote and directed ‘Bad Eggs’ and appeared in ‘Crackerjack’ and ‘The Castle’ (for nine seconds). He is the author of four books including the recent bestseller ‘Deadly Kerfuffle’. He co-created the award-winning podcasts ‘Childproof’ and ‘Sizzletown’ and since 2015 has performed with (ex-TISM singer) Damian Cowell’s Disco Machine. Oh\, and he’s been doing stand-up since 1990 and reckons he’s nearly got the hang of it.

SUMMARY:Letters from Paul
DESCRIPTION:Sharny Russell has written contemporary music for churches and children throughout her life. Letters From Paul is adapted from one of four commissioned school musicals written more than 30 years ago. Known for combining music for young performers with a contemporary\, sophisticated style\, Sharny’s works were performed widely in schools and churches across Australia. \nFor many years\, she dreamed of reimagining these musicals as choir cantatas — and now that dream has come to life in Armidale\, New South Wales. \nSharny is currently on staff at the New England Conservatorium and previously taught for many years at Queensland Conservatorium\, the Jazz Music Institute\, and guest lectured at other universities in Australia. \nTwo young singers who were involved in the premiere production of “letters From Paul\, later became two of the well known Ten Tenors. Reflecting recently on rediscovering old recordings of Letters From Paul\, one described the music as “songs that have stayed with me through all my years of singing” and called their return “long overdue”. \nThis performance brings together full choir\, children’s chorus\, soloists and combined band/orchestra in a vibrant and moving presentation. \nNearly 2000 years ago\, the apostle Paul wrote letters to encourage and strengthen the early church — words that continue to inspire people around the world today. Interwoven with narration that offers insight into Paul’s heart and passion\, Letters From Paul combines joyful\, grooving and at times epic music in a memorable musical experience.

SUMMARY:Musica Viva Concert - "Streeton Trio..."
DESCRIPTION:Streeton Trio – Women Who Dared \nBold\, brilliant women in chamber music. \nJoin the Streeton Trio for a powerful and inspiring evening celebrating the brilliance and resilience of women in music. This program shines a light on four extraordinary female composers who defied convention and left a lasting mark on the classical world. The concert opens with Fanny Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in D minor (Germany)\, a passionate and lyrical masterpiece that rivals the works of her famous brother\, Felix. Despite societal barriers\, Fanny composed over 400 works\, proving that talent knows no gender. Kelly-Marie Murphy’s Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly (Canada) soars with fiery intensity and breathtaking virtuosity\, symbolizing rebirth and transformation—a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s Spirit and the Maiden blends haunting beauty with raw energy\, drawing inspiration from folklore to tell a story of courage and resilience. Clara Schumann’s Trio in G minor\, Op. 17 (Germany) is testament to the child prodigy turned musical trailblazer. Clara balanced motherhood and a legendary career to create an enduring legacy as one of history’s greatest musicians. This concert celebrates women’s voices\, creativity\, and determination\, proving that the power of music—and the power of women—knows no bounds. \nProgramme: Fanny MENDELSSOHN (1805–1847)\, Piano Trio in D minor\, Op. 11 (1846–1847); Kelly-Marie MURPHY (b. 1964)\, Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly (1997); Elena KATS-CHERNIN (b. 1957)\, Spirit and the Maiden (2004); Clara SCHUMANN (1819–1896)\, Piano Trio in G minor\, Op. 17 (1846).
