Writer and director Stuart Bruce guides listeners into the world of The Sacrifice of Farinelli, Subverse Theatre’s immersive new production inspired by the extraordinary life of Carlo Broschi, better known as Farinelli. Running 13–29 August at Bluestone Church Arts Space in Footscray, the premiere season blends baroque music, contemporary sound design, live violin, physical theatre and cutting‑edge immersive technology. Bruce’s vision invites audiences to confront themes of ambition, identity and the cost of artistic perfection. With evening performances Wednesday to Saturday and matinees on select Sundays, this three‑week season offers Melbourne audiences a rare chance to experience a richly imagined 18th‑century opera world reinterpreted for today.
