Sunday morning at North Bondi. Aussie surf culture at its best. Nippers learning the way of the surf 🏄‍♀️. So many families enjoying the water. New baby’s everywhere. And we probably need a bigger pram park area 😂🤣😅. @waverleycouncil #sunday #australianculture #nippers #stunningday #bondibeach #family #operaaustralia #OA #opera #latraviata #actor #performer #handaopera #Sydney #handaoperaonsydneyharbour #hosh #acting #backinsydney @bondirescuetv @operaaustralia @noahsbondi #summer #littlebitofaustralia #australia @northbondislsc #northbondisurfclub #bondilifeguards @bondilifeguards (at North Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club Christmas Tree) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9LKmMRHLle/?igshid=7i6qtqvtuawy

#OperaAustralia #StateTheatre The Phantom of the Opera. Whether you think it’s embarrassing or wonderful (frankly I’ve been a bit of a fan since 1987) this is spectacular popular entertainment of the highest quality. Fantastic night out!

More opera! #StateTheatre #OA #OperaAustralia La Traviata (Elijah Moshinsky’s 1994 production). Yet another revival of this beautiful & cinematic production, but one which shows it still works, and is still worth seeing! And especially when starring someone as superb as Melbourne-born Stacey Alleaume, who left the audience gasping. Sadly Ho-Yoon Chung was a disappointing Alfredo, making us wonder if it was he who was ill, not Violetta. Interestingly Peter J Hall’s costume design drawing that appeared (briefly) on Peel St in February is from this production; I hope it’s found a nice home.

#StreetsideOpportunity in our laneway off #PeelSt #Collingwood. It disappeared quickly so hope someone rescued this original costume sketch by Peter J Hall for #OperaAustralia’s 1994 La Traviata (directed by Elijah Moshinsky it remains a favourite with audiences). Hall worked across the world with everyone from Zeffirelli to Bowie; he died aged 84 in 2010. (at Peel Street Collingwood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbhFGS6rROl/?utm_medium=tumblr

#StateTheatre #OperaAustralia Faust. Charles Gounod’s warhorse, written 1856-59 and ‘granded up’ by steps to 1869, gets a lush production (Sir David McVicar) that emphasises its darkness - sometimes extremely effectively. Three pieces remain extremely well known but it’s long and the energy flagged in the middle. (at Arts Centre Melbourne, State Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_2hgjHMJT/?igshid=dnmkmj8ft3li
