Event BREAKING GLASS * DATE: Friday, 3 April 2020 to Saturday, 4 April 2020, 8pm daily * VENUE: Carriageworks - 245 Wilson St, Eveleigh, NSW * TICKETS: $45 plus fee - Tickets can be purchased online [https://carriageworks.com.au/events/breaking-glass/] EVENT DETAILS In a quadruple bill of new one-act operas from provocative company Sydney Chamber Opera, four brilliant composers seize the stage and share the stories they have always wanted to tell. _The Tent_ creates a landscape of pulsating terror from Margaret Atwood’s knife-sharp prose. _Her Dark Marauder_ sees Sylvia Plath’s poetry inspire a woman’s battle for her identity. _Commute_ transforms the saga of Odysseus into the prickling unease of a modern woman’s walk home at night. _The Invisible Bird_ takes the true story of an endangered Australian parrot and renders it a dazzling journey to emancipation. With works that open an expanse of possibilities in the form, 'Breaking Glass' is a new future for opera. Composers: PEGGY POLIAS, JOSEPHINE MACKEN, BREE VAN REYK & GEORGIA SCOTT Presented in partnership with the Sydney Conservatorium of Music’s Composing Women Program.
