A 16th century knight Astolfo travels to the heavens, his destination, the Moon. His quest, to find a cure for his friend, the great warrior Orlando who has fallen into a deep madness. The moon is, as Astolfo discovers, home to many lost things including Orlando’s sanity. But before he can save his friend, he must first convince the all-powerful Selena, Guardian of the Moon, that Orlando is indeed worth saving.

Presented in partnership with Musica Viva, Voyage to the Moon is a story told with old music, new words and beautiful singing. A semi-staged performance with cast in costume, this exciting collaboration will be performed within the remarkable acoustic intimacy of the Melbourne Recital Centre, before travelling to Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth and Adelaide.

Legendary Australian playwright and director Michael Gow together with renowned musicologist and conductor, the late Alan Curtis reimagine the epic 16th century poem Orlando Furioso. Part new work, part baroque pastiche, Voyage to the Moon will feature one of the greatest Australian sopranos, Emma Matthews, leading Australian mezzo Sally-Anne Russell, former Victorian Opera emerging artist, Jeremy Kleeman and conducted by Phoebe Briggs leading from the harpsichord.
