Penny Shaw: Opera Undressed is a Perth Fringe World Festival production.

Noel Coward famously once remarked: "People are wrong when they say that opera's not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That's what's wrong with it."



The plots of some operas do not bear too close examination. Anna Russell famously made a living detailing, with absolute fidelity, the plot of Wagner's Ring cycle . ("I'm not making this up, you know")

British-born, now Perth resident, soprano Penny Shaw and pianist Tommaso Pollio have got together and with scandalous stories, gossip and a bit of music they take the mystery out of opera for our delectation.



Penny Shaw is possibly better known as the brunette half of Divalicious with blonde Fiona Cooper-Smyth .

Opera Undressed features the music of Britten, Bellini, Verdi, Floyd, Gilbert & Sullivan and Puccini and runs from the 19th of February to Sunday the 22 Feb at 5.30pm in Casa Mondo, The Pleasure Garden, James Street, Northbridge.

Tickets cost $25 (group discount available) and may be purchased from the FringeWorld website .
