This June, the classic Grimm Brothers fairytale Six Swans will be brought to life in a production being performed at Hartley Playhouse, UniSA Magill campus. This is a one act play for all ages. Students from the University of South Australia's Performing and Media Arts course will perform the Australian premiere of Six Swans the opera. This is a collaboration between renowned South Australian arts organisation Tutti Arts and the next generation of theatre makers.



Directed by Russell Fewster and staged by a creative production team, this adaptation of the Grimm Brothers fairytale explores what happens when an irate father turns his six sons into swans over a broken jug, reminding us that life is full of fateful and often unexpected consequences of choice. Six Swans touches on themes of redemption and forgiveness as a young woman struggles towards an awakening and discovering her own strengths.



Six Swans the opera was premiered by Wonderful Beast (UK) in 2014, Richard Chew received a BBC Best Composer nomination for Six Swans. Described as staying with you long after the final note. Six Swans will be previewed on Tuesday 9th June at 7pm, followed by 5 performances Wednesday to Saturday 10th-13th June at 7pm including a matinee on Saturday 13th June at 2.30pm. Running Time: 50 minutes. The venue offers wheelchair access. Auslan interpretation is available at the Saturday matinee performance.

This is an exciting first for South Australia bringing a diverse and very talented cast together to present the Australian Premiere of this fabulous work. Bookings can be made here
