Review: A bold, dramatic reimagining of The Pearl Fishers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New Zealand Opera presents Bizet's The Pearl Fishers, featuring Madison Nonoa as Leila. Photo / Andi Crown In the publicity for The Pearl Fishers, New Zealand Opera describes Bizet’s work as an early masterpiece from the composer of Carmen. A masterpiece it is not, I’m afraid, but this bold staging by Australian director Stephen Barlow offers a lively and provocative night at the theatre. In 2026, there are none of the ruined temples and forbidding Oriental statues that graced this company’s 200
Cosmic Trilogy: Connesson's Southern Hemisphere premiere enthrals (opens the original)

Conductor Nodoka Okisawa leads the Auckland Philharmonia in a rousing Cosmic Trilogy finale. Photo / Sav Schulman The Auckland Philharmonia’s Organ Symphony concert, pairing Saint-Saens’ mega-popular work with the dizzying sonic whirl of Guillaume Connesson’s Cosmic Trilogy, must go down as one of my most compulsively entertaining evenings of the year.

Read excerpt
Sheku Kanneh-Mason takes centre stage with Auckland Philharmonia. Photo / Sav Schulman Conductor Elena Schwarz, introducing tonight’s Sheku Plays Elgar concert, spoke of connections, such as one might gather from experiencing artworks side by side in a gallery. She helpfully linked the singular melodies of Ligeti and Sibelius, as well as the emotional depths to be found in the Finnish symphonist and Elgar, whose Cello Concerto would provide the beating heart of this richly rewarding programme. L
Benjamin Beilman triumphs in Nielsen with Auckland Philharmonia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Auckland Philharmonia filled the Town Hall for the Carl Nielsen concert. Photo / Sav Schulman Was one really surprised when Benjamin Beilman and the Auckland Philharmonia mesmerised us with Mendelssohn a fortnight ago? Certainly not after reading, earlier in the month, the ecstatic reviews of the American performing that composer’s Violin Concerto over the Tasman. Tonight, however, Auckland was honoured with an Australasian exclusive – an all-conquering account of Carl Nielsen’s 1911 Violin
