Overview
Eucalyptus is an ageless story of love and longing, about a daughter and a father. Ellen’s overprotective father has created a safe haven from the world — a forest of eucalypts. But is the forest a sanctuary? Or is Ellen, like Rapunzel, imprisoned? Ellen encounters a stranger amongst her father’s trees – a storyteller with enchanting tales of far-away lands.
Sir Jonathan Mills’ new opera is based on the Miles Franklin Award-winning novel by Murray Bail, and is directed by renowned Australian playwright Michael Gow, with designs by Simone Romaniuk.
