Melbourne opera lovers, get in quick for a rare chance to see Mozart's Idomeneo. Here's my review of a delightful @VictorianOpera @OperaAustralia co-production.

Lindy Hume’s new production of this early Mozart opera for @VictorianOpera and @OperaAustralia offers much to delight both eye and ear, writes @MaunderMaxima. limelightmagazine.com.au/reviews/idomen…

Critics I admire have given @MusicalMidnight the thumbs down for its artistic & ideological conservatism. Must admit I enjoyed this new Australian musical's take on Cinderella, but it needs tightening up. Here's my review for @LimelightArtsAu limelightmagazine.com.au/reviews/midnig…

One-act play Is God Is hits home with themes of family, trauma & revenge - sometimes with visceral force. Here's my review of @MelbTheatreCo's latest.

These AI-generated Miss Universe-style costumes for 20 #Melbourne suburbs are beautiful, cliched and witty. And the winner is ... Miss Brunswick in her avocado hat! 😄 broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/city…

I walked Tasmania's spectacular Tasman Peninsula for a few wet, grey days. Lucky I took the comfy option with @lifes_an_adv so I could dry my boots & kick back with a wine! nzherald.co.nz/travel/austral…

I likes my operas staged, but was totally won over by @OperaAustralia's Tannhäuser in concert. Melbourne opera lovers, don't miss the 2nd/final performance! Here's my review. 👏

Chuffed that my review of Philip Glass' opera Satyagraha was 'liked' by the great man himself! 😃

A great Aussie novel is adapted to the stage, with Danny Ball killing it as Ari. Here's my review.

Limelight@LimelightArtsAu

★★★★½ Published in 1995, Loaded was an extraordinary debut for Christos Tsiolkas. @MalthouseMelb gives the story the staging it needs and deserves. limelightmagazine.com.au/reviews/loaded…

@jolitson @TheAusBallet I saw Marcus Morelli in Melbourne's Don Q - STUNNING! Surprised he hasn't already been promoted to principal.

Jo Litson@jolitson·10 Nis

Don Quixote @TheAusBallet is a gorgeous night of ballet. The company is looking incredibly sharp. Benedicte Bemet & Marcus Morelli were glorious on opening night, delivering scintillating, bravura performances that captured the humour brilliantly. So much to enjoy! A joyous night

Peter Rose's beautifully impassioned review of @MelbourneOpera's often astonishing #RingCycle says it all. Get tickets, if you can.

'This was grand singing and acting that shook the house – unforgettable theatre that once again, as so often in this production, seemed to transcend the form.' Peter Rose on the conclusion to the Bendigo Ring | @MelbourneOpera australianbookreview.com.au/arts-update/10…
