The spirit of the legendary, the iconic, the revolutionary, David Bowie lives on with ‘Ashes To Ashes: The David Bowie Experience’ who has earnt a reputation as Australia’s premier Bowie tribute. They perform faithful versions of the songs that span Bowie’s stellar 5-decade, 27 studio album career in a stunning two-hour concert production.

With an invitation to headline at Let’s Dance Carinda in New South Wales, an annual festival where Bowie’s iconic Let’s Dance video was filmed in the mid-80’s, Ashes to Ashes prides itself on capturing the quintessential essence of his live performance and delivering it with pure rock gusto.

The Adelaide band, all huge fans of Bowie in their own right, is fronted by the vividly artistic Paul Matthews who has been described to have “a beautiful voice that is so similar to Bowie himself, it's eerie.” Backed by an equally as impressive band to boot that features Marco Giardini (keys etc.), Guy Hunt (guitar), Dan Irizzary (bass), Mark Hudson (saxophone, percussion, and more), and Matt Carter (drums), Ashes To Ashes brings to the stage a seasoned professionalism that has been described as “fabulous”, “brilliant” and “unbelievable”.

Performing all of Bowie’s illustrious hits such as Heroes, Let’s Dance, Rebel Rebel, Space Oddity, Ziggy Stardust, Life On Mars, Young Americans, Modern Love, and more.

Presented by Opera Australia and Opera Queensland. This is a story of a love so strong it defies enemy lines. This is a story of a kingdom in triumph and a nation in chains. This is a story of betrayal. Verdi’s monumental music makes this historic epic an enduring favourite. Davide Livermore’s radiant production is a thrilling theatrical experience.

Ten towering digital screens create ever-changing floor-to-ceiling set pieces. Immersive digital video design ranges from rich symbolism to vivid landscapes.

Opulent costumes and props reflect the splendour of Egypt at the height of its power. Together with dramatic video, the massed grandeur of the famous Triumphal March is a visual and musical feast.

Sensational Australian soprano Natalie Aroyan performs as the enslaved princess, Aida, while Elena Gabouri reprises her critically acclaimed turn as Aida’s rival, Amneris. Diego Torre is a powerful Radamès, the man they both love.

This December, the award-winning stage spectacle – Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol – is returning to QPAC! Set to take over QPAC’s iconic Concert Hall in 2023, A Christmas Carol is a magical, grand-in-scale production brimful of song, humour, love, and lashings of festive joy – perfect for the entire family.

It’s Christmas Eve and Ebenezer Scrooge is counting down the seconds until the silliness of the season passes. Deeply entrenched in his own misery, Scrooge receives a visit from four ghosts who whisk him away on a journey through Christmases past, present and future. Here, he revisits fragments of his life and is faced with a number of choices. Redemption is his for the taking – but is Old Scrooge capable of changing his ways before it’s too late?

Complete with live music, yule-tide carolling, innovative video design, lavish costumes and, of course, snow, A Christmas Carol, is quite simply “the most uplifting theatrical experience you’ll have this year” (The Courier-Mail).

Aladdin was sick and tired of his boring old lamp, so he traded it for a brand-new Smartwatch!

The smartwatch was great, but it came with a very strange Genie who was always getting things wrong.

His Mum wasn’t happy either.

Aladdin hasn’t been doing his homework, or his chores. He has become very lazy!

Aladdin plans to make the Genie do all the jobs he doesn’t want to do…including his homework!

Be careful what you wish for Aladdin!
