Are you interested in astronomy, early Italian baroque opera, and Indigenous stories of the night sky? How would these things come together?

On August 29th at 5pm, the John Curtin Gallery will host a presentation from the Yamaji Calisto project, featuring Italian soprano Gemma Bertagnolli and a program of Italian baroque. This is a collaboration between ICRAR, Yamaji Art in Geraldton, and cross-cultural opera producers from Rome.

Professor Steven Tingay from the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy joined Mark Patrick on the Breakfast Show to yarn about this exciting project.
