Collection Name AUSTRALIAN OPERA STUDIO The Australian Opera Studio was established in February 2002 by Gregory Yurisch. It was the only performance-based opera program of its kind in the world, offering fully covered tuition and training over 2 year periods and included local, national and international performances. It was funded through the International Arts and Culture Foundation, philanthropists (mainly Haruhisa Handa) and supported by various corporations. The Studio received some funding from the State and Federal Governments, but this ceased in 2006 and consequently, the Studio was closed in December 2008.

  • Brisbane Baroque
    AUTUMN 2015 MUSICAL Wicked CABARET LA SOIRÉE SPECIAL EVENT Brisbane Baroque Celebrating three decades of storytelling Welcome Hello. 2015 is QPAC’s 30th anniversary and we invite you to celebrate this milestone with us. There is much on o er across our stages and outdoor venues, special programs that are the result of a number of wonderful partnerships with artists and companies we enjoyed collaborating with across three decades. One of the most rewarding things about creating art in Queensland is the responsive audiences who are keen to try new things. It goes without saying that you, our audiences, are critical to our work. The conversation that takes place between artists and audiences, in that space between the stage and auditorium is what makes live performance magical. It’s also why it is constantly changing. Feeling the energy in a room shift and respond to what is being played live in front of you is something that you have to be there to share in…there really is no substitute. Over the course of 30 years QPAC has become part of the fabric of the city and a touchstone in the lives of many of you, who saw your fi rst live performance here, graduated from university in the Concert Hall, or simply had an incredible night out here. I hope you feel QPAC belongs to your community and that you are able to join us in celebrating three decades of storytelling. Thank you.

  • Pirates 2 .Wps
    THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE A live performance by Opera Australia Date: August 2006 Venue: Sydney Opera House DVD Source: Commercially available, released by Kultur, 2007 (NTSC, region 1) and ABC, 2007 (PAL, region 4) COMMENT Missing overture aside, we get not only the complete opera but, by way of Ruddigore's Matter patter (aka My Eyes Are Fully Open), a gratuitous Act Two bonus. (Ears pealed, too, for the "bit of Wagner at the start"1, the "Les Mis moment"2, late-on nods to both Pinafore and Iolanthe and more.) The Ruddigore lift is not unique to this production or even very new – Joseph Papp's 1980 Pirates featured the same filch, as did a German production of Yeomen as far back as 1889!3 This OA insertion would seem to have been made principally to show off Warlow and Co.'s verbal dexterity (which is indeed impressive), for it surely does nothing to help along the plot. The action takes place on a small stage, mostly minimally dressed (with – see above – Toy Theatre-themed4 scenery wheeled on and off by the cast), but plenty of close camera work, atmospheric lighting (all of Act Two takes place at night) and an extravagantly costumed company make this an out and out visual delight. Not that flamboyant threads and a series of striking tableaux are all that this Pirates has going for it. Yes, it's "modern" and unashamedly populist but also (other side of the same coin) a rollicking, infectiously joyous romp, imaginatively staged with high production values, tastefully recorded and surely hard not to like very much.

  • 60 Years of Opera Australia 2016 Anniversary Year
    BACKGROUNDER 60 Years of Opera Australia 2016 Anniversary Year - OA’s first performance was on 21 July, 1956 at the Theatre Royal in Adelaide. The opera was The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart. During its history, OA has had three names - the Australia Elizabethan Theatre Trust (1956), The Australian Opera (1970) and finally Opera Australia (1996). Many people confuse the Sydney Opera House with Opera Australia, however in reality OA didn’t perform there until 17 years after the company’s formation. OA’s history is also intrinsically linked with Victoria. In 1977 Victoria State Opera (VSO) was established as a successor to the Victorian Opera Company. In 1984 the VSO got its home theatre in the State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne, which continues to be OA’s Victorian home to this day. On OA’s 40th anniversary in 1996, the VSO and AO merged to formally become the Opera Australia we know now, with offices in both Sydney and Melbourne. The then Artistic Director of VSO Lindy Hume was appointed Artistic Director of Oz Opera, keeping the opera touring tradition alive which was born back in 1959. (Oz Opera has also since been absorbed into the OA brand, with regional and school tours continuing). This year industry website Bachtrack announced (a) that OA is the third busiest opera company in the world, also with the third busiest opera performer (Ben Rasheed). This level of success is impressive when you consider unlike European opera companies who have seasonal breaks, OA never closes. OA’s success is despite trends overseas which have seen many orchestras and opera houses unfortunately close.
