Title: Win 1/5 double passes to see ‘A Flowering Tree” at QPAC, Brisbane - QLD Post by: culturebird on Saturday 23 March 2019, 11:05:09 am http://www.mustdobrisbane.com/competitions/win-1-5-double-passes-flowering-tree-qpac-enter-here
Thanks to the generosity of Opera Queensland, we have 5 double passes to A Flowering Tree, blossoming in QPAC's Concert Hall on Thursday April 4 at 7pm, to be won. Inspired by Mozart’s The Magic Flute, A Flowering Tree explores themes of magic, metamorphosis and the healing power of deep and selfless love; a majestic retelling of a traditional southern Indian folk tale, sung in English and Spanish. With the Queensland Symphony Orchestra performing the powerful, melodic score, the opera recounts the story of Kumudha, a beautiful, young peasant woman with the magical ability to transform herself into a tree covered in exquisite flowers. A Prince sees Kamudha’s transformation and infatuated by her beauty and magic convinces her to marry him, but arrogance, jealousy and family rivalries drive a wedge between the couple with catastrophic results. |
