Dreamtime Tales relate Captain Cook’s momentous discovery of the New World, Terra Australis - and the piece is a musical celebration of Aboriginal folklore.

The earthy pulse of the didgeridoo emerges from Brown’s rich orchestral score in hair-raising moments as the Tales are narrated by actors and sung by the entire audience of children.

The didgeridoo takes centre stage in this aboriginal-themed production. It is accompanied by a full orchestra, with additional percussion that emulate sounds heard in the Australian outback.
