Shakespeare’s The Tempest
3 May 2025
QPAC Concert Hall, South Bank
It’s one thing to hear music inspired by Shakespeare, but it’s another thing to hear it performed alongside narration from a living theatre legend. Helpmann Award-winner John Bell has directed, acted, and written about Shakespeare more times than you can count. In this concert, he’ll catapult you into the blustery tale of The Tempest, the story of an Italian duke who is banished to an island where all manner of trouble ensues.
The concert program boasts some of the most exciting pieces of music from Sibelius’ suites of the same name, as well as Purcell’s Overture, for a performance of music and words told by one of the biggest names in Australian theatre.
