In 1940, refugees from Nazi persecution who had fled to Britain were suddenly classified as enemy aliens, transported to Australia on the ship Dunera, and held in camps in Hay and Orange, NSW, and in Tatura, Victoria. In their attempts to re-create traces of their former lives, internees ran a remarkable range of activities inside the camps, from art classes to university-style lectures and theatrical performances. As a result, they produced an extraordinary array of personal art and artefacts, from beautiful portraits and landscapes to pop-up paper models and even an unofficial camp currency. The Library has spent many years compiling collections that piece together this little-known chapter in Australian history and now holds one of largest Dunera collections in the world. The Dunera Mass is a dramatised concert, telling the story of these refugees using the recently rediscovered music manuscripts of Dunera composer Max-Peter Meyer, with projections of artworks created by fellow Dunera refugees to illuminate the story. Writer-researcher-narrator: Dr Nicole Forsyth Choirs: Luminescence Chamber Singers (Artistic Director AJ America); The Oriana Chorale, Canberra Choral Director: Roland Peelman AM Piano quartet: Dr Anna McMichael (violin), Nicole Forsyth (viola), Stephanie Li (cello), Jem Harding (piano) Sound engineer & producer: Jim Atkins Music preparation by: Sophie Van Dijk & Jessica Wells, Jigsaw Music (Meyer, Piano Quartet); Patrick Baker, Dan Walker, Roland Peelman, Dr James Forsyth (Meyer, Dunera Mass); Dr Christopher Willcock SJ (Meyer, De Profundis); Tanzen Matilda musical setting by Dan Walker Presented in association with the exhibition Dunera: Stories of Internment. This performance is part of a project funded by Creative Australia. Free tickets are available for First Nations audience members.

It is also considered to have seen a musical at the Sydney Opera House! Cameras are not allowed throughout, but the emotional value is really high; although more than half of the lyrics can&#39;t hear clearly, but the plot I understand, I think I am already very embarrassed. Hollywood&#39;s 1950s background, the audience is mainly old white, or the first time in Sydney to see such a pure white community.

Go early, the park is too big, there is no substitute tool, you have to wait for a lot of people to eat, the bird watching performance and the seal performance are good, we have not finished watching it until 5 pm, sorry

Take a ferry at sunset. You can see the Harbor Bridge and the Opera House at sunset on the ferry. When you come back, you can enjoy the beautiful night view.

Australia&#39;s Blue Mountains Scenic Area, the scenery is really good, surrounded by mountains and clouds. The scenic spot is free. The cable car drivers have to charge. There are three cable cars with completely different experiences, especially the cable car that is close to 70 degrees. It is particularly interesting. The children are happy to do three round-trips. Buy tickets once and take unlimited times on the same day.

Located at 1-5 Wheat Road, Darling Harbour, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺Had a fantastic day here, even though it&rsquo;s a little pricey, it&rsquo;s definitely worth the visit. The famous tunnel underneath the Sharks, Dugongs and Sting Rays was fantastic.
