INFERNO
presented by Australian Brandenburg Orchestra
45 Mins
Embrace the Darkness and Emerge Reborn.
Step into a world where music transcends time and reality. Join us for INFERNO, a journey through heaven and hell, where the boundaries between life and death blur in a modern gothic marvel. With an intimate audience of just 20 masked souls, this immersive experience is a thrilling musical adventure like no other.
As you enter, the haunting sounds of Purcell set the stage, guided by a mesmerising dancer. Witness the eerie operating theatre to the tune of Monteverdi, revealing a world of the supernatural. The set evolves before your eyes, transporting you to an otherworldly playground inspired by the works of Bosch and Magritte, featuring playful demons and devilish performances.
From the chaos of hell, you ascend to heavenly splendours with Bach, Costeley, and a recomposed Bach Cello Suite. Immerse yourself in a divine world of meditation, surrounded by swirling music and ethereal visuals.
Finally, return to Earth with Bach's violin sonata, and join the musicians for a post-show conversation. No dress code, no formalities — just a unique celebration of music, movement, and the new wave of baroque sounds. Embrace the darkness and emerge reborn.
