The Marriage of Figaro

Singapore Lyric Opera presents Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro.

A comic masterpiece of love and forgiveness.

The Marriage of Figaro is the union of a clever, satirical play about the foibles of lovers and the presumptions of class. Young servants Figaro and Susanna find their wedding day turned upside down by a slew of characters scheming to keep them apart.

Sung by an internationally acclaimed all-Asian cast accompanied by the Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra and the Singapore Lyric Opera Chorus. Led by Maestro Lim Yau and directed by David Edwards.

Romeo and Juliet

['Julie baby you're my flame…']

A first glance of love lingers like a perfectly formed smoke ring. Outside forces blow tumultuously and the delicate perfection is distorted and eventually destroyed.

Body heat rises, pupils dilate, skin moistens as adrenalin surges… Love and hate consume with a burning sickness that will turn deadly.

This is the world of Romeo and Juliet: passion rising unabated. Life lived - and ended - at boiling point.

'Here's much to do with Hate, but more with Love'

Note to self

The Beautiful Life

or

Necessities are for nincompoops


Someone, someone very wise, once said,

''GIVE US THE LUXURIES OF LIFE AND WE WILL DISPENSE WITH ITS NECESSITIES.''

Yes, to hell with necessities,

give us tailored clothing,

horseback riding,

moveable feasts,

the perfect kiss,

warm socks on a cold winter morning,

a well-played game of Paper, Scissors, Stone,

sunsets,

sunrises,

ice cold beer,

sipping cold beer from a woman's navel,

and all the things not just unnecessary, but wonderfully unnecessary.

In other words, give us The Beautiful Life.

Now.

Joop! Jump

"Always civil but never quite civilized"...
For the guy who marches to the beat of his own drum and has enough faith in himself to be different.
For the guy who doesn't let convention stand, it is now time to
JUMP OUT OF YOUR SUIT.

A masculine classic fougere fragrance associated to a surprising fresh and sensual brand new cocktail accord: the Frozen vodka!

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 Ƨa que J'adore

Giselle






____________________

The Australian Ballet
presents
GISELLE
____________________

The Ultimate Romantic Ballet
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.
