The cartographer, the natural scientist and the philosopher – three archetypes from the Age of Discovery – set sail for the last great wilderness. Their sepia past meets a vivid future on the frozen plains of Antarctica in a magnificent new opera by Mary Finsterer (composer) and Tom Wright (librettist).  

After a dazzling premiere in the 2022 Holland Festival, Sydney Chamber Opera will perform Antarctica on home soil, featuring renowned Dutch new music ensemble, Asko|Schönberg.  

Finsterer’s intriguing blend of Renaissance-inspired and contemporary music styles is mirrored by period characters in a brilliant, futuristic digital set. The fascinating musical palette is amplified by the sounds of the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic itself.

Director Imara Savage, designers Elizabeth Gadsby and Alexander Berlage, and filmmaker Mike Daly have realised a beautiful and enthralling vision that amplifies the filmic experience of the opera – transcending space, time and memory. 

This is epic opera on a chamber scale from an all-Australian cast and creative team in collaboration with one of the world’s finest contemporary music groups.
