An idle mind is the devil's playground
In this modern morality tale originally based on Hogarth's famous drawings of corruption and debauchery in 18th Century London, Stravinsky and his librettist W.H. Auden trace the decline of their anti-hero Tom Rakewell who, having sold his soul to the devil, descends into madness and despair.
Featuring the Queensland Conservatorium Orchestra conducted by Alexander Ingram, directed by Anna Sweeny with designs by Christopher Smith and Andrew Meadows, this English language opera will delight opera enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
