Weathering extremes: Sydney Chamber Opera's triple bill and Jim Denley's new albums

Jim Denley and the natural environment have been longtime collaborators, in fact, he is perhaps one of the very few musicians who has played outdoors more than inside. Over the past few years, he’s been documenting those collaborations across various locations, including the Budawangs and the city of Sydney, and recently released two albums. 

Sydney Chamber Opera stages a triple bill of one act operas for single singer in a program called earth.voice.body. Director Clemence Williams and soprano Celeste Lazarenko join Andrew to reveal their treatment of works by Francis Poulenc and Kaija Saariaho that pull apart the operatic form and the human psyche.
