Southwest of Melbourne lies a battleground, haunted with the
memory of war and loss. The scars of the Eumeralla Resistance
War (1840–1863) lie heavily upon the country.
Eumeralla, a war Requiem for peace brings into focus a period
of Australia’s history that is yet to be fully understood. Written
and composed by acclaimed Yorta Yorta soprano, composer
and Artistic Director of Short Black Opera, Deborah Cheetham
AO, this requiem for peace, will be sung entirely in the ancient
dialects of the Gunditjmara people.
