For the adults there’s plenty to look at and read and for the kids there are a few fun interactive activities to explore. My son loved them all. \nI highly recommend you check it out if you have kids or grandkids under the age of 8 or if you’re just a big kid at heart or admirer of beautiful stories/illustrations like me. \nIt’s free and on until July 2027 but don’t leave it till the last minute! \nThe State Library of NSW also hosts a number of other excellent exhibitions (not really suitable for young children though). \n#pamelaallen #pamelaallenexhibition #statelibraryofnsw #lauraharrispublishing #penguinbooks #penguinkidsbooks

SUMMARY:Madama Butterfly - Opera
DESCRIPTION:When Love is Lost\, What Remains? \nPuccini’s Madama Butterfly tells the heartrending story of Cio-Cio-San\, a woman who dreams of a life filled with hope\, and Pinkerton\, a man who sees only a fleeting butterfly – something to capture\, possess\, and discard. His selfish pursuit sets in motion a tragedy of sweeping emotional depth. \nThe opera’s score is nothing short of transcendent: from the soaring heights of Cio-Cio-San’s iconic “Un bel di” to the delicate serenity of the “Humming Chorus\,” Puccini’s music captures longing\, heartbreak\, and fleeting moments of beauty. \nMoffatt Oxenbould’s award-winning production is a visual masterpiece. Tiny candles shimmer across floating flowers in a real onstage moat\, while sliding paper panels reveal and conceal the hidden truths of the characters. Sumptuous\, vibrant costumes\, inspired by traditional Japanese dress\, create a serene yet emotionally charged backdrop for the unfolding drama. \nExtraordinary singers breathe life into every note of Puccini’s passionate score\, guided by the expert hands of conductors Andrea Battistoni and Erina Yashima. \nThis Madama Butterfly is more than an opera – it’s an unforgettable\, must-see experience\, a performance that will linger in the heart long after the final curtain. \nPresented by Opera Australia. \n–> More Info / Book Tickets Here or Here

SUMMARY:Turandot Opera
DESCRIPTION:Turandot Opera by Puccini\nWhat is born at night and dies by dawn? What burns without light\, and what ice glows with fire? \nPrincess Turandot never invited suitors to her court – yet they came. She warned them all with riddles sharp enough to kill\, daring anyone to pierce her icy heart. But what happens when someone finally solves the puzzle and reaches the woman behind the legend? \nInternational director and choreographer Ann Yee reimagines Turandot in a breathtaking new production for Australia’s national Opera Conference. With towering sets\, immersive visuals\, and stunning choreography\, this spectacular staging weaves together the courage of Turandot\, the pain of her ancestors\, and the selfless love of another woman into a powerful story of resilience and transformation. \nPuccini’s sweeping score carries audiences through the opera’s vast emotional landscapes—from the thunderous choruses to the spine-tingling heights of “Nessun dorma.” \nTwo of Australia’s leading dramatic sopranos\, Rebecca Nash (fresh from the Metropolitan Opera\, New York) and Anna-Louise Cole (star of The Ring Cycle)\, share the title role. They are joined by acclaimed tenor Young Woo Kim alongside Diego Torre and Rosario La Spina\, under the batons of Henrik Nánási\, Nicholas Milton\, Andrea Battistoni\, and Tahu Matheson. \nA feast for the senses\, Turandot fuses myth\, music\, and movement into an unforgettable theatrical experience — a spectacular highlight of the season that will leave audiences spellbound. \n  \n—> More Info / Book Tickets Here or Here

SUMMARY:Eugene Onegin - Opera
DESCRIPTION:Eugene Onegin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the haze of youth and its stormy moods\, she lingered… yet the face she longed for remained a mystery. \nTatyana drifts through life with her head tucked inside romantic tales. When the charismatic Eugene Onegin steps across her path\, she senses her own story stirring to life. Her hope is bright\, but Onegin turns it aside. \nEugene Onegin traces the fragile arc between possibility and what is forever lost. The space between them becomes its own quiet disaster. Tchaikovsky’s luxurious score shapes an opera steeped in memory\, longing\, and the ache of hindsight. \nKasper Holten’s “hyper-intelligent\, deeply moving” staging (Limelight) brings reflection into sharp focus. Through vivid flashbacks\, Tatyana and Onegin stand witness to their younger selves making decisions that will echo through the years. \nLauren Fagan returns in triumph after her searing performance as Suor Angelica in Il Trittico. She appears alongside Ukrainian baritone Andrei Bondarenko as Onegin and rising Australian tenor Nicholas Jones as Lensky. \nAnna Skryleva steps onto the Opera Australia podium for the first time to lead one of Tchaikovsky’s most treasured masterpieces. The Romantic music enriches Pushkin’s tale of love unreturned and hearts undone. \nPresented by Opera Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n–> More Info / Book Tickets Here
