This sumptuous feast of fine music
celebrates the heavens and sings to
the stars above in a performance
bookended by new works about our
relationship with the cosmos.
Beginning with the stunning voice and
presence of Emma Donovan singing a
new song of ancient stories, Music of
the Spheres weaves together music
from across the centuries. Glorious
renaissance motets and exquisite
arias from Handel, Mahler and
Strauss prepare the scene for a
centrepiece world premiere of a new
operatic work Glimpses & Dialogues
from ‘Galileo’ written by long time WA
Opera director Richard Mills (Batavia,
Song of the Nightingale).
Emma Donovan and Richard Mills are
joined by West Australian Symphony
Orchestra, Emma Matthews,
Shanul Sharma, Samuel Dundas
and a choir of Angels and Demons in a
concert that encapsulates the expanse
of human wonder at the universe
around us.
