THE TRAVELLERS

Esteemed Australian Director Bruce Beresford is just as familiar in the world of opera as he is in the world of cinema.

He has directed several productions for major opera companies and WAO's own Artistic Director Chris van Tuinen worked with him at Opera Australia on A Streetcar Named Desire which featured Yvonne Kenny, Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Antoinette Halloran.

So when Bruce wanted to make a film in Perth, he reached out to West Australian Opera to film a section of the Dress Rehearsal for Rusalka and take footage from WAO's 2022 production of La traviata.

Watch The Travellers in cinemas from 9 October.
