Track Works: A pastiche of opera's greatest hits
12/12/23 • 12 min
Opera is often as much about the venue and the occasion as the music. Think of the sumptuous opera houses of Europe filled with black ties, dainty ladies with binoculars, and the chink of champagne flutes. But one opera company has broken the rules by performing in the public toilets in the Queen Victoria Building.
Their new performance Track Works goes even further, taking up a wonderfully historical building normally associated with death. Very operatic indeed.
Guest: Thomas De Angelis, Artistic DirectorEden Shifroni, Soprano
