Following its sold-out premiere, this electrifying, one-woman operatic odyssey returns to Qtopia Sydney, bringing to life three legendary queer historical figures in a blaze of passion, defiance, and raw emotion.
★★★★★ “This show is on fire.” — Sydney Arts Guide
Witness the searing intensity of Rossini’s fiery monodrama Joan of Arc, the tortured beauty of Donizetti’s Sappho, and the revolutionary music of audacious queer composer Ethel Smyth, whose works fuelled the Suffragette movement. A visceral experience where spectacular music fiercely collides with rebellion, power, and courage.
The stakes are high, and the passion is palpable, as the sensational Ruth Strutt ignites The Substation in “a solo tour de force” — Limelight, accompanied by one of Sydney’s most dynamic pianists, Michael Curtain, whose playing brings “intensity, colour and balanced grace.” — Sydney Arts Guide
Prepare yourself for a night of heart-pounding drama, unrelenting passion, and a fierce celebration of defiance!
