Damian Cowell's Disco Machine: Get Yer Dag On

Our Man in Havana

Loosely based on the Graham Greene novel of the same name, Our Man in Havana is opera like you've never seen it before. Struggling vacuum cleaner salesman James Wormold is approached to work for the British secret service. Weighed down with financial insecurity by a daughter who loves to spend, it seems he has no choice.

Presented by the Lyric Opera, with music including lyrical ballads blending with Latin American rhythms, Our Man in Havana is an immersive opera experience with a cabaret feel.

Our Man in Havana is playing at the Athanaeum, 188 Collins Street Melbourne, at 7.30pm on 17th, 20th, 22nd and 24th September. Tickets are $70 full, $50 concession, $45 cheap Tuesday. Click here to buy your tickets.

Romeo and Juliet (Vol 1) 20 Year anniversary

A Shakespearean play from the 1590s, Romeo and Juliet was given a new life with the 1996 film of the same name - updated to the hip modern suburb of Verona. The film featured a soundtrack which some of us still remember today – and some of us prefer not to! In Romeo and Juliet (Vol 1) 20 year anniversary, Tom Dickins and various Fringe artists host a '90s masquerade pop rock party which pays tribute to the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack.



Two sessions only - 9.30pm on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th September, at the Lithuanian Club, 44 Errol Street, North Melbourne. Tickets are $30. Click here to buy your tickets.
