FAULT LINES

Event Date: 11/06/2015, 07:30 pm

A show combining traditional Chinese dance & culture with contemporary dance
Fault Lines depicts the human response to the devastating earthquakes in Christchurch and the Sichuan province of China. The show had its world premiere at the Melbourne Festival in October 2012 in a unique collaboration between New Zealand choreographer Sara Brodie and China’s Sichuan province- based Leshan Song & Dance Troupe.

Together they crafted an intimate, personal response to explore shared earthquake experiences by combining traditional Chinese dance and culture with contemporary dance.
Now this critically acclaimed production is touring to Sydney and Canberra from 11 to 16 June 2015.
On a quiet spring afternoon in 2008, an earthquake measuring eight on the Richter scale devastated the Sichuan province of China, killing over 69,000 people. It was a natural disaster on such a scale that defied imagination – but for millions of Chinese survivors, there was nothing for it but to pick up the pieces and carry on.

As well as dance and theatre, the performance includes elements of song. Composer Gareth Farr sat in on the creative process and composed the music as the work was put together.

“The dancers are beautifully trained in Chinese classical dance, and handle the unfamiliar contemporary dance vocabulary with skill.”

Opera In The Pub At The Roxbury

Event Date: 10/06/2015, 07:30 pm

Opera Bites returns to The Roxbury Hotel with The Elixir of Love, Donizetti's delightful comedy
Mid-week in a Sydney pub - glasses tinkling, conversation bubbling, steak sizzling . . . . SURPRISE! . . . . the divine melodies of an opera begin and a fully costumed cast appear!

As the sublime music begins, a touch of narration is added and a favourite opera comes to life.

Feel like you have front row seats as you get up close to the thrill of live performance.
Join us for a relaxed drink and delicious meal whilst enjoying some of the opera world’s favourite music – we promise even the non-opera-lover will enjoy an evening Opera Bites style!

Opera Bites returns to The Roxbury Hotel with The Elixir of Love, one of Donizetti's most delightful comic operas. Sung in English, this 90-minute version tells the story of a country bumpkin who wins the hard-to-get heart of the girl he adores, aided by a "magic potion" and a travelling quack. This charming comedy bubbles along as the "elixir" causes as many problems as it solves.

Featuring one of operas best loved arias: ‘una furtiva lagrima’ – ‘one furtive tear’, this operatic gem contains many more hits and even some audience participation – Opera Bites style!
The combination of top tunes and all the hilarity is sure to keep everyone laughing and humming all the way home.

*Note*:
GIve-away is for 1 double pass (two tickets) to Opera in the Pub at The Roxbury (Show Only). Dinner & Drinks available for purchase from 6pm. Show commences 7.30pm.
