Saint George is back!
We are thrilled to announce Paul Mac and Lachlan Philpott‘s queer electro opera hit The Rise and Fall of Saint George will be part of Midsumma Festival 2020!
Taking over Art Centre Melbourne’s massive Hamer Hall for two special event performances this January, The Rise and Fall of Saint George will feature a massive 60+ person choir drawn from across Melbourne’s LGBTQI2+ community and their allies, and some very special guest vocalists we’ll let you know about closer to showtime.
Telling the extraordinary true story of a series of religious attacks on a beautiful Inner West mural memorialising the life of queer pop icon George Michael, Saint George calls into question the boundaries of free speech, religious freedom and tolerance in the face of the divisive 2017 Marriage Equality campaign.
