It has been a play and a mini-series, but now Tim Winton's "Cloudstreet" will become an opera.


In the 25 years since Tim Winton released his popular novel "Cloudstreet" there has never been an adaption into Opera until now.

The State Opera of South Australia aims to bring an uniquely Australian voice in the world of contemporary opera.

Taking a lead role in the show is Gungarri man Don Bemrose, Australia's foremost male Aboriginal Classical opera singer.

Khi-Lee Thorpe caught up with Don about the show and his career and the inspiration that led him to him to achieve his goals.

Cloudstreet will be performed at Her Majesty's Theatre in Adelaide from May 12th -21st
