Modern-Day Opera Collides With A Seaside Church For A Musical Meditation

For a musical offering like no other, Quietus will take place on Friday August 10 overlooking the ocean at the Lady of Sea church, as part of WinterWild's 2018 festival in Apollo Bay.

A sacrifice of dramatic arias shifting between classical opera and contemporary chamber pieces will captivate audiences.

As the Lyric Opera of Melbourne's mezzo soprano Caroline Vercoe joins forces with oboist Jasper Ly and pianist Peter Dumsday for an eerie interpretation of works by Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Francis Poulenc and Richard Wagner.

The performance will explore the relationships between love, longing and death; whilst paying homage to the sea and natural world.

To attend this concert of dark themes, tickets can be found at www.winterwildapollobay.com.au/quietus for $35 + booking fee.
