A co-production of Sydney Chamber Opera, Opera Queensland, and Victorian Opera, presented at Carriageworks by Carriageworks and Sydney Chamber Opera, 27 July - 3 August 2019 (world premiere).
'Sydney Chamber Opera made its debut in 2011 — a year in which Australia's national opera company premiered no new Australian work (and in fact did not do so again until 2015).' (Introduction)
'Attending the opening night of a world premiere performance of a new Australian opera is an exhilarating experience - though one that requires a bit of pre-performance research. This is not the first Australian opera that has been based on an iconic novel: recent others include Cloudstreet (2016), Bliss (2010) and Voss (1986).' (Introduction)
