SYNOPSISBiographica is an odyssey of maverick Renaissance genius Gerolamo Cardano, whose lust for gambling propelled him on to a precarious path between risk...

Scene II: The Birth
Soloist: Jane Sheldon, soprano
Storyline: Many years ago in 1500, Cardano’s mother grapples with grief while pregnant with Cardano.

In Anno Domini – Aria from Scene II of BIOGRAPHICA

Sydney Chamber Opera continues their pioneering development of the new opera canon with Biographica by Australian composer Mary Finsterer with a libretto by Tom Wright. Biographica is an intricate dance of genius and madness, inspired by the life and demise of Renaissance polymath Gerolamo Cardano.

Cardano was a magnificent and eccentric mind – a prolific inventor and flawed father, solitary, aggressive, peculiar. A man who would listen to a guardian angel, swear by science, and dream of defeating time. He wrote the first texts on the mathematics of gambling, was a world-renowned surgeon, invented algebra, and was a pioneer of sign-language. Leading Australian actor Mitchell Butel stars in this fascinating role, with Finsterer’s music reflecting the piercing beauty of the Renaissance much like maniera painting; rich, florid, bold.

Malthouse’s resident director Janice Muller unites with SCO to develop this extraordinary interrogation of the mind and the soul.
