Proving the power of contemporary opera to move and unsettle audiences, Mary Motorhead & Trade, presented by @acoco_go, stand as compelling examples of modern storytelling intensified through musical and vocal soundscapes. My thoughts at #ArtsReview: artsreview.com.au/mary-motor…
Great fortune has descended on @cityofmelbourne with the Australian premiere of two one-act operas by Irish duo, composer Emma O’Halloran and her uncle and librettist, Mark O’Halloran. Opening night of Mary Motorhead and Trade here @MalthouseMelb, presented by @acoco_go.
