June 25, 2026

Experience the gripping intensity of two operatic masterpieces in one exhilarating evening.

Pacific Opera Studio invites you to a special evening of staged scenes from Peter Grimes by Benjamin Britten and The Queen of Spades by Tchaikovsky.

Performed in an intimate setting, these workshop performances reveal the next generation of operatic talent as they bring these unforgettable characters vividly to life.

Peter Grimes is guest directed by Kanen Breen, an irrepressible operatic tenor and cabaret artist who has worked with Opera Australia, Victorian Opera, Pinchgut Opera, and on Broadway with Baz Luhrmann’s La Bohème.

The Queen of Spades is guest directed by Emma Whitehead, a rising talent and NIDA graduate fresh from rave reviews of Fair Play at the Old Fitz Theatre.

Music direction by Peter Coleman-Wright AO. Co-Artistic direction by Cheryl Barker AO.
