Antarctica, the newest opera by Australian composer Mary Finsterer, explores the historical, mythical and scientific conceptions and stories about the southern continent.

With a mesmerising combination of musical elements from early and new music styles, we are transported into another world.

This fictional tale begins with three characters from the Age of Discovery miraculously conjured from the memory of a young girl: a cartographer, a natural scientist and a philosopher travelling by ship to Antarctica, all with different dreams and expectations concerning the mysterious landscape. But what they find is far greater than themselves…

Created by the outstanding production team behind La Passion de Simone, 2022 SCO Creative Residents Imara Savage, Elizabeth Gadsby, Alexander Berlage and Cannes award-winning filmmaker Mike Daly will interpret this new work alongside some of SCO's favourite singers and the legendary Dutch new music ensemble Asko|Schönberg. Finsterer's first opera for SCO, Biographica was described by The Australian as an 'outstanding new opera deserving a permanent place in the repertory', and expectations are high for her second.

In order to prepare for her new opera, Finsterer organised a symposium at the University of Tasmania where she and librettist Tom Wright could meet with scientists from the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies. In an age of increasing concern for our ecology, the displacement of populations and a heightened awareness of the vulnerability of our oceans, Antarctica is also an urgent story for today.

Note: Performed in English with English subtitles.
