“I’ve long thought this the greatest orchestra of them all.” Los Angeles Times
“If you’re looking for romantic depth and sheer beauty of tone, then you’ve come to the right band. In fact, there are moments where a particular theme is so achingly lovely that you almost forget to breathe.” BBC Review
CONDUCTOR, SIR SIMON RATTLE
“Rattle threatened to take the lid off the Albert Hall… music to inhale, to swoon to, to exult in.” The Independent (UK)
Chief Conductor and Artistic Director Sir Simon Rattle is one of the most revered and dynamic conductors of our time. Bursting onto the world stage at 25 with his transformation of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, he has gone on to win accolades for his commitment to new music and for his refreshing approach to repertoire. Sir Simon has had stellar relationships with the great ensembles of the world including the Boston Symphony, Vienna Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra’s.
When appointed to the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2002 he joined an astounding line-up of conductors who have worked with the great ensemble including: Hans von Bülow, Wilhelm Fürtwangler, Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado. Of his ‘great love’ Sir Simon best describes the essence of these concerts… “Music is no mere luxury, but instead a fundamental need. Music must be a vital and essential element in the life of each individual.”
PROGRAMME
RACHMANINOV ‘Symphonic Dances’
MAHLER Symphony No 1 in D Major
The masterworks from the giants of the classical pantheon continue in this second program. Without doubt, Rachmaninov and Mahler stand as two of the great evocative composers of the twentieth century. These compositions, so widely loved and treasured, will be revealed in spectacular glory by this great orchestra under the baton of its celebrated Chief Conductor. Together they will bring a new revelation and lustre to these seminal works that will long be remembered by those privileged to experience these exceptional master musicians crafting life long memories for their audience.

6.00pm MID-AUGUST LUNCH AKA “Pranzo di ferragosta” (Italian) RATED: PG, RUN TIME: 75 Mins
A man unexpectedly finds himself talking care of four women, three of whom he barely knows, in this sunny comedy from Italy. Gianni (Gianni di Gregorio) is a man in his mid-sixties who still lives with his mother; given that Valeria (Valeria De Franciscis) is well into her nineties, these days he looks after her rather than the other way around, though she remains quite spry given her age. Gianni and Valeria share an apartment in a building owned by Luigi (Alfonso Santagata); Gianni owes money on the rent, and Luigi, who wants to take off for the midsummer festivities of Ferragosto, makes him a deal -- Luigi will forgive the debt if his elderly mother, Marina (Marina Cacciotti), can stay with Gianni and Valeria for a few days. Gianni grudgingly agrees, but is upset when he discovers Luigi has also brought his aging aunt Maria (Maria Calì). Word apparently circulates that Gianni is running an informal home for the elderly, as his friend Marcello (Marcello Ottolenghi) stops by and drops off his mother, Grazia (Grazia Cesarini Sforza), for a day or two. While Gianni scrambles to look after the various needs of four elderly women, it soon becomes clear the ladies have strongly differing views on a number of subjects, making his job all the more difficult. Pranzo di Ferragosto (aka Mid-August Lunch) was written and directed by Gianni di Gregorio, who also played the harried son; it was the first directorial project for the veteran screenwriter.

8.00pm THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE AKA “Flickan som lekte med elden” - Swedish RATED: MA15+, RUN TIME: 129mins WARNING: Strong violence, sexual violence and sex scenes
The second installment of author Stieg Larsson's best-selling "Millennium" trilogy gets translated to the big screen with this tale of a prominent magazine publisher who launches a comprehensive investigation into Swedish sex trafficking and political corruption. The publisher of "Millennium" magazine, Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) has built an empire on his ability to shake up the establishment. Approached by a young journalist with evidence that high-ranking Swedish officials are involved in sex trafficking and crimes against minors, the incensed magazine publisher launches a comprehensive investigation that threatens to implicate some of the most powerful politicians in the country. Noomi Rapace and Alexandra Eisenstein co-star.

One day on the banks of the billabong, a very clever Dingo caught a Wombat and decided to make GOOEY, BREWY, YUMMY, SHEWY, WOMBAT STEW!
WOMBAT STEW is a Big Bonza Aussie Musical based on the book of the same name written by Marcia. K. Vaughan and illustrated by Pamela Lofts, First published in 1984, the publication has never been out of print and this year, 2009, will mark the 25th Anniversary of the publication.
Second only to Possum Magic, Wombat Stew has become a modern day classic familiar to thousands of children and parents Australia wide. It is widely read in schools and can be found in all children’s libraries.
Gary Ginivan Attractions (GGA) is delighted to have secured the rights to this property and will develop and produce the first ever, major stage adaptation of this work. Equally, GGA is indeed fortunate to have secured the services of Gary Young and Paul Keelan to adapt and score this production. Gary & Paul are well known within the industry and have twice won the prestigious Pratt Prize for Musical Theatre. Under the supervision of Garry Ginivan, they will be joined by Graeme McGuffie (sets) and Mel Drummond (costumes) to complete a highly experienced team. The production will feature a multi-talented and skilled cast of 6 actors and will incorporate the elements of acting, singing, dancing, puppetry and mime.
This production will be a premier season and tour, which is hoped, will be another high quality Australian stage classic for children and families, which has become synonymous with GGA.
