Impressive! On top of Prokofiev’s intoxicating score, choreo. John Cranko toys with the telling of Romeo and Juliet with the thrill of a carnival and tenderness of heart while @TheAusBallet shows itself in splendorous form led by Joseph Caley and Grace Carroll in the title roles.

Reflecting the passionate G&S culture that has flourished across Britain and much of the former British Commonwealth for over a century, @OperaAustralia’s Gilbert & Sullivan: A Musical Celebration made an entertaining tribute to the duo. My thoughts:

There’s that Moshinsky-Traviata drop curtain being used again! Not sure why when G&S were centre of attention in @OperaAustralia’s dedicated musical celebration to the enduring duo. Nevertheless, lots of wonderful performances with, hmm, lots of showbiz direction.

Celebrating 70 years of bringing opera to the people, elegance, expertise, experience and soaring entertainment were the order of the evening for @OperaAustralia’s 70th Anniversary Gala on Sunday. My thoughts @arts_review: artsreview.com.au/opera-aust…

The ensemble nature of the company was showcased splendidly this evening in @OperaAustralia’s 70th Anniversary Gala in a program catering generously for a raft of exceptional talent without resorting to the usual overdone opera highlights. And it looked pretty classy all the way!

“All things in moderation” comes to mind as @VictorianOpera once again warmly revives composer Calvin Bowman and librettist Anna Goldsworthy’s version of Norman Lindsay’s tale — a compact 70-minute romp that coasts along, plump with melodic pleasure. artsreview.com.au/the-magic-…

Norman Lindsay’s charming, Aussie tug-of-war bush adventure is brought to spirited life in @VictorianOpera’s compact 70-minute work that coasts along, plump with melodic pleasure. The Magic Pudding: The Opera is entertaining sustenance for the whole family.

Newcomers to and lovers of Verdi’s La Traviata should find many aspects of dir. Sarah Giles’ new production for @OperaAustralia, its individual performances and musical quality enough to arouse emotion and bask in its artistry. My thoughts @arts_review: artsreview.com.au/la-traviat…
