Eden picks up where DiDonato’s last project In War and Peace left off, bringing together timeless opera arias, new contemporary works, poetry and drama with DiDonato’s incredible voice and powerful stage presence in search of the restorative balance of nature.

These performances will finish at approximately 8.50pm, with no interval.
