Celebrating the music of the Fab Four on film.
It's sixty years since the The Beatles' second feature-length film Help! established the Fab Four not just as talented musicians and songwriters, but also as movie stars. The group was hailed as a modern-day Marx Brothers and their director, Dick Lester, credited with 'fathering' the MTV pop video culture that was to come.
So what better time to celebrate the songs not just from the soundtrack of Help! but from all five films in their catalogue.
Featuring hits from A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine and Let It Be, The Bootleg Beatles and their eight-piece orchestra will take you on a whistle-stop trip through the celluloid career of the Fab Four in their brand new spectacular multi-media stage show.
It's all there, the costumes, the hairstyles, the banter and the gear.
It's not The Beatles ... but you simply won't believe it!

Beethoven's sole Violin Concerto marries nobility with disarming simplicity: long, singing lines that seem to float above time, flashes of playful wit, and passages of hushed intimacy. Satu Vänskä, Principal Violin of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, brings its poetry to life with limitless grace. Led by Guest Conductor Giordano Bellincampi, the orchestra crafts a luminous backdrop, rich in nuance and delicacy.
Opening the evening, New Zealander Salina Fisher's Murmuring Light casts a delicate spell – one of iridescent colour that prepares the ear for Beethoven's radiance. After the interval comes the stunning Mendelssohn Symphony No.3, inspired by his visit to Scotland in 1829.
Take a seat, open your ears, and let the light in.
Be careful what you wish for.

Mozart in Motion.
Lose yourself in the storm and serenity of Mozart's G minor symphonies – his No.25 full of fiery intensity, and his No.40 – a masterpiece of passion and grace. Between these iconic works, delight in Jean Françaix's charming Variations for cello and strings, featuring Queensland Symphony Orchestra Principal Cellist Hyung Suk Bae. In these expert hands, the cello sings with warmth and wit. You will also be treated to Peter Sculthorpe's Lament – a deeply moving work that echoes the soul of the Australian landscape with every note. This concert is a celebration of elegance and beauty, where classical genius meets playful sophistication.
