After a choral introduction to thirty saints, a series of tableaux featuring St Teresa II unfolds on the steps of a Cathedral. At a garden party near Barcelona there is a dance, a game and a heavenly vision through a telescope. In a monastery garden, saints discuss monastic life and see a vision. In heaven, the saints remember their earthly life.

Composed by Virgil Thomson and with zany joyous poetry by celebrated writer Gertrude Stein, Four Saints in Three Acts makes for charmingly irrational theatre. Inspired by jazz, gospel and folk music, this surreal work about 16th century Spanish saints directed by Nancy Black will feature youth opera performers, a youth orchestra conducted by Fabian Russell (Nixon in China) and 3D scenic imagery (The Flying Dutchman) devised by Deakin Motion.Lab under the direction of Dr. Kim Vincs.

In what promises to be one of the most talked about experiences of the 2016 season, Victorian Opera will present a unique theatrical dinner following the performance of Four Saints in Three Acts on the stage of the Malthouse Theatre, in Dinner with the Saints, a separate ticketed event, guests will be treated to a menu from celebrity chef Gay Bilson and a ‘visitation’ Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein.
