A stellar Brisbane cast, an Australian premiere and an opera you’ll fall in love with from the first laugh.

A young widow sits alone in the drawing room of a country manor. Around her the space, once full of splendour, has gone into decline. In the centre of the room is an ornate, golden frame with a portrait of her deceased husband. Since his passing, she has been resigned to a quiet and small existence, with only the company of her more-than-slightly exasperated manservant. But life has a curve-ball lying in wait for her. The sudden appearance of a stranger, the Boor, jolts her out of her haze. He demands payment for a debt left by her husband, and refuses to leave until it is settled. The two engage in a tumultuous battle of wit and courage, culminating in an unlikely duel. Their passionate and tumultuous engagement ultimately sparks something new and unexpected.
