His Music Burns – Sydney Festival
Another creative and contemporary production from the Sydney Chamber Opera.
Overview
Dynamic young company Sydney Chamber Opera teams up with Sydney Theatre Company resident director Sarah Giles for a Sydney Festival contemporary double bill. First up is Gyorgy Kontag's ... pas a pas - nulle part ..., a contemplative yet virtuosic solo piece inspired by Samuel Beckett's absurdist poetry.
Second is George Benjamin's Into the Little Hill, presented as the score to a new version of the Pied Piper, as interpreted by playwright Martin Crimp. He's taken the legend and transformed it into a politically themed tragedy. Expect an immersive journey into sound and drama.
Formed in 2010 by artistic director Louis Garrick and music director Jack Symonds, Sydney Chamber Opera is committed to presenting fresh takes on the opera repertoire. They put together two to three performances each year in a program featuring Australian composers, new international works, song cycles, cantatas and daring interpretations of the classics. We loved their production of Exil, performed at CarriageWorks in December.
