Carrie White is a teenage misfit. She’s an outcast who is bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling and overprotective mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it …

Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria

(The return of Ulysses to his homeland) 

by Elena Kats-Chernin

Dramma per musica
(1640/2012) after Claudio Monteverdi
Libretto by Giacomo Badoaro

Based on stories from Homer’s Odyssey, Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria tells the story of Penelope’s 20-year wait for the return of her husband, Ulysses after the Trojan wars.

This modern adaptation of the 1640 Monteverdi opera by Uzbekistan-born Australian composer, Elena Kats-Chernin, was premiered at the Komische Oper Berlin in 2012, and explores the tenacity of a wife’s refusal to accept that her husband may not return as the rest of the world has moved on.

Under the baton of accomplished Brisbane-based conductor, Simon Hewett, directed by award-winning director and filmmaker Constantine Costi; and designed by Isabel Hudson, whose previous work included 2024’s Puccini Double Bill, this promises to be one of the operatic events of the year.

Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria is part of the 4MBS Festival of Classics, 2025. 

Sublime sounds from our Guitar and Harp students.

Prepare to be in awe as a selection of student-led ensembles display their virsiltily and virtuosity in a program of chamber music classics.

A journey through a century of German-language song, without words. Flautist Tim Munro and pianist Stephen Emmerson explore the liminal space between song and instrumental music. Franz Schubert’s dark Variations on Trockne Blumen and Clara Schumann’s radiant Romances are linked to lieder composers including Schubert, Schumann, Wagner, Alma Mahler and Webern.

Emmerson and Munro have been friends for many years, but this will be the first full-length project they have devised and presented together. Without Words is part of the 4MBS Festival of Classics.

The pinnacle of refinement: dine in three delights of the classical era. Mozart adored composing piano concertos, and his Piano Concerto No. 27 is his final work of this form. Having written 26 others before it, the maturity and artistry of this concerto is, unsurprisingly, astounding. Australian pianist Daniel de Borah has a history of acclaimed Mozart interpretations, many alongside Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici, and the duo offer grace and sensitivity in their approach to this miraculous work.

Haydn’s Symphony No. 49 (La passione) is a rare touch of darkness in the composer’s catalogue, as the sombre and stormy reign supreme. But don’t worry, it’s not all serious, Rossini’s La Cenerentola Overture is bright, bold and energetic.

Welcome to Thebes is a bold reimagining of ancient myth for a world on the edge directed by Timothy Wynn with the Graduating QCGU Acting students.

Moira Buffini’s work fuses Greek tragedy with modern politics, where power, gender, and survival collide in a gripping, fast-paced drama.

With razor-sharp dialogue and unflinching humanity, Welcome to Thebes asks: What does it take to lead in times of crisis? And who gets to decide the future?

The struggle for a just and equal world is not just myth – it is now.

A Chorus Line examines one day in the lives of seventeen dancers, all vying for a spot in the “chorus line” of a Broadway musical. After the first round of cuts, Zach, the director, asks each dancer to speak about themselves. Discomfort opens into revelation, confession leads to redemption, and within the bright, outwardly homogenous chorus, the audience begins to see each dancer’s individuality. From Cassie, the star who just needs the “music and the mirror and the chance to dance,” to Val, a small-town girl with a brand-new big-town body, to Mike, who took his sister’s place in dance class, saying “I can do that.”

Based on real Broadway dancers’ stories, A Chorus Line is a funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway chorus audition.

This special 50th anniversary production, performed in conjunction with Griffith University’s 50th anniversary celebrations, will be performed by all current Bachelor of Musical Theatre students, and feature 3rd years in principal roles.

It’s about one moment. It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice… or take a stand… or turn around and go back. These are the stories and characters of today, the Songs for a New World. The first musical written by Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County), this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices that we make. 

With a rousing score that blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz, tight harmonies, daring vocals and creative choreography, Songs for a New World appeals to old and new generations alike. 

We were first introduced to Raymond Briggs’ magical, awe-inspiring world of The Snowman in 1978, and his picture book was developed into an Oscar-nominated film just four years later. Directed by Dianne Jackson and featuring an original score by Howard Blake, the animated film brings Briggs’ visionary tale to life, following James and his Snowman as they embark on a wondrous journey one winter’s night.

Over the past 40 years, The Snowman has firmly become part of the fabric of Christmas and winter celebrations. The dreamlike narrative still perfectly captures the imagination and wonder of childhood, continuing to be enjoyed and embraced across generations.
