The Medium by Menotti
The Grand on Ann
Madame Flora is a fraud. Preying on the desperate grief of those who wish to hear from beyond the grave, she holds fake seances and profits from these shows of illusion. It's a family affair, involving her daugher Monica, and Toby, a servant boy rescued from the streets. But one day, as the table shakes and the lights flicker, something odd happens. A hand, unseen, grabs her throat. She is no longer in control.
Gian Carlo Menotti's The Medium is a chilling descent into deception, madness, and the supernatural. Led by Director, Sean Dennehy, and featuring some of the best up and coming performers in Brisbane, you'll be kept on the edge of your seat, as you start to wonder what is real, and what is the projection of Flora's guilty conscience. Held over the Halloween weekend, it's the perfect operatic outing for the spooky season.
