Virginia Woolf's Night & Day

★★★★ "a wayward, unworldly fantasia, a four-leaf clover of a film – or even five-leaf " - The Guardian.


Adapted from the novel by Virginia Woolf, Night & Day is a witty and refreshingly unconventional period comedy set in London on the cusp of modernity.

Directed by Tina Gharavi and featuring a stellar ensemble cast including Haley Bennett, Jack Whitehall and Timothy Spall, this charming adaptation brings Woolf's sharp humour and keen social observation delightfully to life.

Verdi's La Traviata on Sydney Harbour


Inspired by Alexandre Dumas fils’ The Lady of the Camellias, Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata is one of opera’s most moving and enduring love stories. It follows the passionate but fragile relationship between the celebrated courtesan Violetta Valéry and the young nobleman Alfredo Germont. As their happiness is threatened by social expectation, sacrifice and illness, Verdi’s music captures both the glamour of Parisian high society and the deep emotional cost beneath it. La Traviata remains a powerful exploration of love, freedom and the price of living outside society’s rules in nineteenth-century France and features unforgettable melodies, intimate drama and heartbreaking humanity.
