Pinchgut Opera – Crowdfunding Promo with Dido and Aeneas Cast
Produced by Abel Productions
We partnered with Pinchgut Opera, under the artistic direction of Erin Helyard, to create a powerful crowdfunding promo for their production of Dido and Aeneas.
We were incredibly lucky to film across multiple stages of the process. Starting with early rehearsals, we captured the cast in their element, in raw, intimate moments of preparation. We interviewed the performers, getting a glimpse into their passion, artistry, and connection to the music.
Filming continued at the general rehearsal at Sydney’s stunning City Recital Hall, where the full production came to life in front of a private audience.
It was an honour to speak with and film the extraordinary cast, including:
- Valda Wilson, soprano
- Kanen Breen, tenor
- Sara Macliver, soprano
- Olivia Payne, Taryn Fiebig Scholar
- Louis Hurley, Humanity Foundation Taryn Fiebig Scholar
Working closely with the Pinchgut marketing team, we delivered the finished promo within days, just in time for the campaign launch.
The video helped spark immediate interest and was a key driver behind one of Pinchgut’s most successful crowdfunding efforts.
This is the kind of work we love, using storytelling to connect people with the magic of live performance and make a real impact.
