Montague Basement Will Present THE PUBLIC DOMAIN OPERA at the Butterfly Club
By: Marianka Swain Aug. 31, 2018
Montague Basement is delighted and a little flustered to announce that the ensemble will now present The Public Domain Opera at the iconic Butterfly Club at the Melbourne Fringe.
"This show will change the world," says director Saro Lusty-Cavallari. "We hope it will... but we have day jobs to do. No one seems to be listening. Budgets need to be stuck to. Sponsors need to be pleased. The director's a tyrant. Oh and we've just been sent a cease and desist letter."
"The Public Domain Opera is about failure. The failure to have your voice heard. The failure to make a difference."
"How can you bring down capitalism with song when the songs aren't free?"
Montague Basement have established a name in Sydney's independent scene over the past four years, with a yearly presence at the Sydney Fringe, including their 2017 acclaimed production of Sarah Kane's Cleansed as well as adaptations of Ovid's Metamorphoses and Medea.
They love works in the public domain. Just love them.
The Public Domain Opera opens at the Butterfly Club as part of the Melbourne Fringe on the 10th September and runs until the 16th. Booking recommended.
