Summary:Experience this Tasmanian premiere special event
Join us for the Tasmanian premiere of Antarctica in concert, performed by the Sydney Chamber Opera and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
The South Pole is a realm rarely touched by human footsteps, shrouded in an aura of mystery and inaccessibility. Yet, within this frozen landscape, lie untold tales and forgotten histories, waiting to be unearthed.
The genesis of Antarctica was a symposium at the University of Tasmania in 2017, where University of Tasmania adjunct professor Mary Finsterer and Tom Wright collaborated with scientists from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, through the Creative Antarctica Program.
First performed at the 2022 Holland Festival and in Australia at the ’23 Sydney Festival, this is a rare opportunity to see this groundbreaking work for the first time in Tasmania with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jack Symonds.
When: 7:30pm - 9:30pm, Thursday 18 April
