Wild Arts presents some of the greatest stories of all time, with dramatic intrigue, jealousy, comedy, idealism, and pure love. Follow our characters’ journeys through 75 minutes of musical favourites from Rossini and Handel, to Bernstein and Gershwin.
Performed by four world-class singers and a string quintet.
Take a look through this year's show, Songs of Summer Love.
"One of the most impressive things is that music from such diverse periods (Handel Baroque to 20th century) hung together so seamlessly with no sense of jarring... Spectacular doesn’t even begin to do it justice! Wow."
