Admitting to shedding a tear over disco is not something that I ever thought I would do, however at last Thursday's performance of Velvet at the Sydney Opera House, this is exactly what happened.

The performance in the Music Workshop at the Conservatorium involved a team of actors and musicians at the highest level of Noh performance in Japan, Australia, and the USA. The result was spell-binding.

As an introduction into palaeontology and exploration of the rich history of life on planet earth this show is a must see.

This is cheeky Chekhov, set in a contemporary rural Russia that is alarmingly alike contemporary country Australia, its characters redolent of Muscovites on the Murrumbidgee.

I knew I was in safe hands right away and decided to “let it go”, sit back and enjoy Richard Cottrell’s wonderful staging of Arms and the Man at the Opera house. I wasn’t disappointed.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company
Based on an Australian literature classic, My Brilliant Career is destined to become an Australian theatrical classic.
Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
Blind faith and rational belief are always sparring partners in dramatic conflict and so it is here with the power play tinged with superstition and salaciousness.
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
