SUMMARY:Tchaikovsky - Child of Glass
DESCRIPTION:“If only all artistic endeavour could mean and communicate as much!” \n★★★★★ \nABC Reviews\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Breathtakingly beautiful\, confronting\, heartbreaking and visually spectacular.” \n★★★★★ \nCarmen Riley\, XS Entertainment\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“…an evening of musical\, emotional and dramatic superlatives… reduced me to tears several times.” \n★★★★★ \nBarry Sloane\, 4MBS Reviews\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Art at that level is what makes life worth living – the rest is just survival.” \n★★★★★ \nGrand Master\, Brisbane Masonic Lodge\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the acclaimed team that brought you Beethoven: I Shall Hear in Heaven comes a blazing new music-drama about the life of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.\n\nNominated for an RPS Storytelling Award and hailed as ‘an explosion in the heavens\,’ Tchaikovsky: Child of Glass brings to life with shattering immediacy all the pressures\, passions\, and conflicts that shaped Russia’s most celebrated composer and one of the world’s irreplaceable geniuses. \nBorn into a society that reviles and criminalises his nature\, Tchaikovsky finds himself torn between public expectation and inner truth. Forever seeking to express his deepest feelings\, yet haunted by the threat of condemnation and ostracism\, music becomes Tchaikovsky’s refuge and sole avenue for self-expression. He fulfils himself by pouring out longing\, anguish and ecstasy into compositions of breathtaking beauty—masterpieces that continue to move us to this day. \nWritten and performed by Tama Matheson\, with music re-imagined and performed by Jayson Gillham\, and featuring actors Suzy Kohane and Oliver Holland alongside the Royal Ballet’s Téo Dubreuil—with choreography by former Royal Ballet dancer\, Stephen Wicks—Child of Glass is an electrifying theatrical event that depicts\, with incandescent power\, the life of one of the greatest artists in all of Western music.
