Harvey Milk - The Opera in Concert

Left Bauer Productions

Left Bauer Productions and the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir present the Sydney premiere concert performance of Stewart Wallace and Michael Korie's ground-breaking opera Harvey Milk.
In January 1978, after his third campaign for a position on San Francisco's board of supervisors, forty seven year old camera salesman Harvey Milk made history by becoming the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in America. Ten months later, having secured the city's first gay rights ordinance, Harvey was shot and killed by fellow city supervisor Dan White.
The outpouring of grief following Harvey's death and the passion inspired by his achievements continue to fuel a movement which, as the call for equal rights in Australia grows louder, is as important as ever.
Featuring a stellar cast and a chorus of 60, this is sure to be a spectacular musical event.
“Harvey Milk – the Opera was an example of how this medium can still tell important stories, wrestle with contemporary issues and deliver them to a modern audience.” Sascha Kelly, Limelight
“I imagine few expected the depth of performance achieved by Left Bauer Production’s advertised concert performance of the Australian premiere of American composer Stewart Wallace’s opera… Powerfully voiced soloists soared over the complex rhythmic lines, living their respective roles.” Paul Selar, Aussie Theatre
