About the Event
West Australian Opera and Breaksea are proud to present The Song Catchers, a new work created with the Albany community that will form a cornerstone of Albany 2026.
Join Tipu, a curious fox, and Marri, an intriguing echidna as they journey through a world where songs have been silenced. Through tangled truths and tested friendship, their adventure explores what it means to find your voice and hope for a better shared future together.
This heartfelt tale has been inspired by conversations and workshops with Menang Noongar Elders - Aunty Eliza Woods, Aunty Glenda Williams and Uncle Larry Blight - alongside Breaksea Youth Writers’ Group and the Artistic Development Panel.
The Song Catchers examines identity, belonging, and the healing power of music, promising to resonate with audiences of all ages.
