From Hamlet to Othello to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the works of William Shakespeare have provided inspiration to some of the world’s finest composers and more than a century of cinema directors. Songs for Shakespeare will imaginatively combine an array of Shakespeare-inspired music with some of the bard’s memorable moments from the silver screen.
Acclaimed baritone Peter Coleman-Wright is widely considered one of the most versatile singers in Australia today. He has performed internationally with the Glyndebourne Opera, the English National Opera, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and of course locally with Opera Australia.
