“So much consideration and thought has gone into every note. I’m not sure I’ve got another opera in me, but I’m really proud of this work.”
@WAOpera is set to premiere the second (and maybe last) Noongar language opera by Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse.

Told long before Shakespeare's, an ancient Noongar tale about two star-crossed lovers is about to receive its operatic adaption with @WAOpera at @perthfest.
Its director Matt Reuben James Ward talks about bridging the mythic past to the present day.
