Overview

Dropping out of the Conservatorium of Music worked out pretty well for The Presets. After ten years on stages and three full-length albums, The Presets will finally make their Opera House debut.

The Sydney electronic heavyweights are doing it in good company too – hand-in-hand with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, directed by Richard Tognetti. If the joining of such potent musical forces weren't ambitious enough, they've decided to navigate their way through 42,000 years of musical history and more than 230 songs, starting 13.8 billion years ago and ending up today.

Prepare to lose yourself in a mindbending journey from Mozart and Bach to Miles Davis and Bob Dylan, while Ignatius Jones masterminds the visuals. The first show (Sunday, May 25, 2pm) is already sold out, but if you're quick, you might be in with a chance of scoping out the second (Thursday, May 29, 7pm).
