A trip to Melbourne isn't complete without including at least one of its rich cultural experiences. Immerse yourself in Melbourne's cultural scene by seeing an Opera Australia performance. Puccini's classic Bohemian love story is about youth and beauty, ecstasy and pain. Constantine Costi leads a team of Opera Australia's most exciting talent to create a new La Bohéme, set in snow-kissed Paris and shimmering with magic. Puccini's music captures feelings you can't put into words. This is opera to remind you of the power of love, music and the sheer joy of being alive. A must-see if you love Rent: The Musical, snowflakes and slow dances, bittersweet love stories. This opera is sung in Italian with English and Simplified Chinese subtitles.

Join Steamrail as they venture east to the Morwell International Rose Garden Festival behind an R class steam locomotive. Departing Newport, Southern Cross, Flinders Street, Caulfield, Dandenong or Pakenham Stations, the train will steam from the heart of Melbourne through to the rapidly expanding southeastern suburbs. Reminiscent of the glory days of The Gippslander, an express run will be had towards the Latrobe Valley. After flying beyond the overhead and leaving the suburbs behind, the train will enter the lush farming country of West Gippsland. Relax onboard as the locomotive works hard to tackle the steep grades of Longwarry Bank, through the valley and onto the mysterious Haunted Hills before arriving at Morwell. Showcasing the international award-winning Rose Garden in the heart of Morwell and celebrating the work of the Friends of the Rose Garden Volunteers, the Festival promises to be a blooming spectacle of colour and light for all ages. Explore the roses, take part in a range of free activities, treat your taste buds to a traditional Devonshire Tea at the CWA marquee or partake in retail therapy at the garden and market stalls. The festival's favourite gardening guru, Costa Georgiadis will chat about all things gardening and sustainability. Re-board the train back to Melbourne, finishing a memorable day out onboard The Vintage Train.

The Latvian Radio Choir is not just a choir: it is a sound laboratory, its members always ready to explore new work and new ways of singing. Its repertoire encompasses music from the Renaissance to now. Genevieve Lacey is a fearless artist who challenges people to rethink the recorder, the classical music concert experience and, indeed, how we listen. Together these pioneering musicians present a program of music which looks to the sky in search of beauty, wonder and things with wings. Get a glimpse of the sublime with a psalm, a prayer and a song of songs. Catch the call of the nightingale, the swallow and the sparrow, and explore the intimate poetry of bird names with Peteris Vasks. Then, to celebrate the return of this ensemble of musical pioneers, get ready to experience two new commissions which meld human and avian voices. Bird on Byrd is an interspecies collaboration where curiosity and humour meet, created by Australian composers Hollis Taylor and Jon Rose. Finally, Ceremony of Swans is a world premiere from internationally revered Latvian composer Eriks Esenvalds, with a text by celebrated Australian author Alexis Wright.

Bright Phantoms is the debut album from Naarm based experimental duo Lillian Albazi and Oscar Neyland, bringing voice and double bass together in a restless and richly textured sound world. Weaving together fragments of post-punk, folk, modern classical, noise, found percussion, free improvisation and rock. At its centre is the interplay between double bass and voice: layered echoes and tidal harmonies move through dissonant extended techniques, abrasive textures and moments of quiet reflection.
