Description
Opera Australia's annual production on Sydney Harbour is a highlight of the performing arts calendar. This year, the floating stage hosts West Side Story and it stars First Nations soprano Nina Korbe. The musical by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is Nina's professional debut, but not her first time performing in a spectacular outdoor setting. Also, with the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival underway, we're joined by the comedian Joel Kim Booster. Joel is also the writer and star of the hit romantic comedy Fire Island. Joel is performing in Headliners at the festival and can also be seen in his Netflix special Psychosexual and in the comedy series Loot with Maya Rudolph.
