BRIGHT STAR by John Bell and Simon Tedeschi
presented in association with Music Viva Australia will play at Riverside Theatres in November, for one night only.   It will be a feast of Romantic poetry and music featuring the works of Keats and Schubert.

Australian theatre icon, John Bell AO OBE and internationally acclaimed pianist Simon Tedeschi renew their triumphant partnership with Bright Star, exploring the life, love and genius of two bright stars of the Romantic era – John Keats and Franz Schubert. Though they never met, these contemporaneous geniuses of literature and music were kindred spirits: both died young, having loved a woman beyond his reach due to her superior social standing, and both created masterpieces which still resonate strongly today.

Performing some of the most beloved poems of Keats including Bright Star, Ode to a Nightingale, and La Belle Dame Sans Merci, and music by Schubert including Ave Maria, Winterreise and Sonata no.18 in G major (Fantasie), Bell and Tedeschi share their insights into the enduring power of these timeless works, and the lives of the artists who created them.

BRIGHT STAR will play at Riverside Theatres [Facebook] for one night only November 18th.
