Season 2019 Media MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED: WEDNESDAY 10 OCTOBER, 8PM VICTORIAN OPERA ENTERS NEW HORIZONS WITH SEASON 2019 From an operatic holy grail to madcap romances and journeys to the fantastical, Victorian Opera’s Season 2019 invites audiences to ever expand their own horizons with an eclectic range of new and much-loved works of opera and music theatre. Artistic Director Richard Mills notes, “Victorian Opera reimagines the potential of opera through a diverse program, ranging from the epic richness of Wagner’s Parsifal to new operas made by and for Victorians.” Season 2019 opens with Wagner’s final opera Parsifal in a new production at the Palais Theatre, St Kilda from 20 – 24 February. The prophesied odyssey of Parsifal from ‘pure fool’ to saviour will be realised by multi award- winning Australian director Roger Hodgman (Nixon in China, The Flying Dutchman) and welcomes a cast of internationally acclaimed Wagnerian singers: Burkhard Fritz, Katarina Dalayman, Peter Rose and revered Melbourne baritone Derek Welton. Richard Mills conducts the masterwork with the Australian Youth Orchestra (AYO) in the pit. From Wagner to Sondheim, Victorian Opera returns to the work of the most beloved composer of American music theatre with A Little Night Music. This bittersweet musical comedy about an entangled group of worldly characters remains one of Sondheim’s most mature works; it speaks of the follies of human nature with heartbreaking accuracy.

    Report to the Future Melbourne (Planning) Committee Agenda item 6.2 Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint 4 March 2014 Presenter: Rob Adams, Director City Design Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the recent public release of the Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint (Blueprint) and advise on the implications for Council. 2. The preparation of a Blueprint to guide the future development of the Melbourne’s Arts Precinct was initiated in May 2011 by the Victorian Government and presents a shared vision for the future of the area as determined by a working group, chaired by architect Yvonne von Hartel AM and comprising key precinct stakeholders including Arts Victoria, City of Melbourne, University of Melbourne and major arts institutions. Key issues 3. The principles underpinning the Blueprint were informed by a community consultation process that involved representatives of arts organisations, residents, arts students and visitors to the precinct. 4. The Blueprint identifies that the precinct has the potential to be a vibrant and active destination and proposes that this will only be fully realised when all levels of government agree to cooperate in the facilitation of this special place. Council’s ongoing participation in the implementation of projects in the public realm is one way by which this overall vision can be achieved (refer Attachment 2). 5. The Blueprint is consistent with Council’s adopted Southbank Structure Plan and includes actions such as the streetscape improvements to City Road, open space along Southbank Boulevard and the integration of Dodds Street with the VCA campus.
