The Substation
General Admission
An electrifying, one-woman operatic odyssey that brings to life three legendary queer historical figures in a blaze of passion, defiance, and raw emotion.
Witness the searing intensity of Rossini’s fiery monodrama Joan of Arc, the tortured beauty of Donizetti’s Sappho, and the revolutionary spirit of music by the audacious queer composer Ethel Smyth, whose works fuelled the fires of the Suffragette movement. A visceral experience where spectacular music fiercely collides with rebellion, power, and courage.
Immerse yourself in an evening where the stakes are high, and the passion is palpable, as the sensational Ruth Strutt, recently seen commanding the Qtopia Sydney stages in Cox & Box, ignites The Substation with her unforgettable energy and voice, accompanied by one of Sydney’s most dynamic pianists, Michael Curtain.
Prepare yourself for a night of heart-pounding drama, unrelenting passion, and a fierce celebration of defiance!
