Together, Apart - Gertrude Opera 

Created by Australian composer Nicholas Gentile and Lincoln Hall, Together Apart explores complexities of human relationships in a swipe left or right world. Moments of intimacy, doubt, honesty, and choice, the piece gives a snapshot of four young lives negotiating what brings us together and pushes us apart. Together Apart is about letting people in and letting people go.  

Gertrude Opera's production of Together, Apart has four accomplished young Australian singers take on the 16 songs in this work
