Perchance to Dream - Wentworth Falls Aug 8th 2026
Dusk to dawn ~ the shadowed hours illuminated in song
Directed by Kevin Barker
Step out of a wintry mountains afternoon into a warm enveloping sanctuary of calm and tranquillity, as we explore the music of nighttime, sleep and dreams from across the centuries …
From Dowland’s introspective lute songs, Purcell’s delicate melodies lulling fairies to sleep, and one of J S Bach’s most celebrated sacred cantatas. The refined harmony of Mozart evoking the serenity of twilight. A cornucopia of Romantics – Mendelssohn, Brahms, Rheinberger, Fauré – with their lyrical expression, sweeping melodies and cascading vocal lines. The harmonies of Vaughan Williams and Barber, depicting eternal stillness and natural beauty. To the present day, with Eric Whitacre’s mesmerising, ethereal lullaby, and an atmospheric art song by our very own Kevin Barker, describing the transition from quiet, solitary reflection to a triumphant celebration of hope. All enhanced by the rich, velvety resonance of the cello.

Blue Mountains City council have recently replaced the audience seating at Wentworth Falls with new raked seating, which is plush and comfortable. The front two rows X and A are on the ground and available for those who need level access. If you need assisted access please click one of the wheelchair marked spaces and we will contact you to make arrangements. The best seats for view and accoustics are probably a few rows back (say D and E), but all the seats are good and the accoustic is generous all the way to the rear of the hall with uninterrupted sightlines to the performers.
