review

One of the formative history books I read in my younger days was Alistair Horne’s remarkable account of the war of 1871, The Fall Of Paris.

The Graduate Choir New Zealand kept a good-sized audience spellbound in St Paul’s Cathedral on Saturday evening.

Packed stalls greeted the reformation of the Bee Gees at the Regent Theatre on Saturday night.

Calefax's encore of Moondog’s laid-back New Amsterdam closed their performance before a highly appreciative audience, which filled the stalls at the Glenroy Auditorium on Friday evening.

Superb performances of a globe-crossing repertoire delighted large audiences for the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra’s popular matinee series concerts at the weekend.

In this fantastic follow-up to the award-winning Duck Goes Meow, Mama cat is demonstrating core skills like pouncing, stalking, washing and climbing to her offspring.

A full house sat in silence for the performance selfportrait24: Ōtepoti - Dunedin, devised by Marcela Giesche, in the New Athenaeum Theatre yesterday afternoon.

High-energy dance sequences, songs and hi-jinks come thick and fast in Taieri Musical’s hugely entertaining production of Footloose.

Anyone who saw comedian Dai Henwood’s interview with Jaquie Brown on The Project about his bowel cancer will not be surprised at his frankness about living with a terminal illness.

There was certainly no power crisis in Mosgiel’s Coronation Hall on Thursday evening.

The title of Jacqueline Leckie’s newest book, Old Black Cloud, obliquely refers to the common English translation for Aotearoa, "the land of the long white cloud".

Ian F. Grant has written many books but if you seek his monument then pick up his recent two-volume history of New Zealand newspapers.
