Pier 2-3 - The Neilson
ACO Relaxed Performances are shortened concerts with a guest presenter who will make you feel right at home. Open to everyone, these performances will offer flexible seating arrangements, adjusted lighting and sound levels and quiet spaces to chill out. We welcome people on the autism spectrum, people with disability and additional access needs, parents and carers with babies, or anyone who would enjoy a more informal daytime performance experience. Come along, respond to the music, make noise, be yourself and have fun!
How to Catch a Star
Once there was a boy and the boy loved stars very much. Every night he watched the stars from his window and wished he had one of his own. One day, he decided he would try to catch a star… but first he had to think of a plan…
Based on the book by international best-selling author Oliver Jeffers, How to Catch a Star is a brand new ACO production which will take you on a journey from awe and wonder, through to perseverance and triumph.
In a stunning adaptation by Sandra Eldridge, Jeffers’ magical tale about reaching for dreams will be brought to life on stage through storytelling and exquisite new music by Elena Kats-Chernin performed by an ACO string quartet. Join us for this enchanting experience that will leave you and your little ones filled with hope and optimism.
