Murphy to exit stage left
Berlin marks the final season for Graeme Murphy and Janet Vernon as artistic directors of Sydney Dance Company.
The production premiered at the Sydney Opera House in November 1995 as a collaboration between Sydney Dance Company, singer and composer Iva Davies and musical director Max Lambert.
The score features song material made famous by such 20th century rock icons as Lou Reed, Bryan Ferry, David Bowie and David Byrne.
For Davies and Lambert, these were songs that evoked the city of Berlin and songs that stood the test of time.
iOTA, one of Australia’s most talented and enigmatic young artists, is to sing in both the Sydney and Brisbane seasons.
iOTA is known for his legendary performances as the East German transsexual rock star in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Berlin runs from Wednesday 10 October till Thursday 25 October at the Theatre Royal. Bookings on 1300 795 012 or www.ticketek.com.au.
