Music For Minorities


Mikel Rouse

Playhouse, Sydney Opera House


The provocative American composer, performer and multimedia performer Mikel Rouse brings one of his brilliant works to Sydney for the first time – MUSIC FOR MINORITIES

‘A composer many believe to be the best of his generation.’ NEW YORK TIMES

MUSIC FOR MINORITIES is a beautiful and surreal song and multimedia storytelling experience. Inspired by the plethora of sanitised cable TV options available, the synchronised video imagery in MUSIC FOR MINORITIES replicates the experience of channel surfing, producing a non-linear narrative in which Rouse explores the troubled, darker aspects of Middle America. Accompanied by a lush recorded soundscape of percussion and multiple guitars, Mikel Rouse sings smooth songs inspired by 60s pop and Delta blues. It’s an audio-visual collage of stories and ideas from the Silent Minorities of the media age.

Dior J'adore














Gold is cold,
Diamonds are dead,
A limousine is a car,
Don't pretend,
Feel what's real,
C'est ça que J'adore

Giselle

Do not miss this spellbinding tale of love and betrayal

Revisit the traditional charms of the classic Giselle. Girl meets boy. Girl gets boy. Girl loses boy, dies of a broken heart and joins a band of vengeful ghosts.

This is one of the real showpieces of classical ballet: steeped in history; extravagantly staged; and full of demanding, traditional ballet dancing.

2006 marks the 20th anniversary of Maina Gielgud's much-loved and extraordinarily beautiful production of Giselle that has been seen on stages around the world.
