Rockdale Opera Company presents the world premiere of a new Australian opera – The Monk, a gothic chamber opera by Steven Stanke, inspired by Matthew Gregory Lewis’s 1796 novel.
Set in Madrid, where piety, desire, and the supernatural collide, the story centres on Ambrosio, a celebrated monk whose ironclad virtue begins to crumble when he confronts temptation in its most beguiling forms.
From its atmospheric opening scenes within the cloistered monastery to its seductive encounters, spectral visitations, and final harrowing downfall, The Monk’s powerful score conjures a world of mystery, passion, and moral peril.
