Durack shines as Geelong Arts Centre launches 2023 season

AN INVITE-only crowd got a sneak peek of what’s coming on stage next year as the Geelong Arts Centre launched its 2023 season of programs and events.

Titled “Our Season 2023”, the calendar has high-calibre works from several the nation’s most highly regarded companies, acclaimed homegrown talent and the brightest rising stars of the stage.

 

The summer night soiree, held in the Geelong Arts Centre’s foyer, featured drinks, canapes and tantalising teasers of what is to come in 2023.

 

These included live performances from Helpmann Award winner Lucy Durack, who will be appearing in the season’s opening show Leading Ladies on February 17, alongside Caroline O’Connor and Silvie Paladino and backed by John Foreman’s 30-piece Australian Pops Orchestra; and local baritone Stephen Marsh, who performed in a nod to Opera Australia’s The Barber of Seville: Rossini in late August.

 

 

As well as productions from Sydney Theatre Company, Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, Sydney Dance Company and Griffin Theatre Company, next year’s performances will include REWIRE, a new program delivering an assortment of acts that celebrate new art, contemporary Australian voices and immersive experiences with a modern edge.
