Australian composer Brett Dean’s astounding recreation of Shakespeare’s murderous Hamlet features an immensely complex and evocative score using electronic music, cinema-like surround sound effects with Matthew Jocelyn’s thrilling libretto. Award-winning Neil Armfield AO directs British tenor Allan Clayton MBE making his Sydney Opera House debut, Australian soprano Lorina Gore reprising her Helpmann Award-winning Ophelia and tour-de-force American baritone Rod Gilfry as Claudius.
