Join Voxalis Opera for the Australian Premiere of Jake Heggie’s LGBTIQA+ opera, For a Look or a Touch.

Set against the backdrop of Nazi Germany during World War II, this unforgettable performance delves into the forbidden love of an elderly Holocaust survivor, his lost lover, and the unspeakable persecution of gay men during the Holocaust.

Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer’s collaboration draws inspiration from the emotional documentary “Paragraph 175” and the heart-wrenching diary of Manfred Lewin, a Jewish homosexual who faced the horrors of Auschwitz. This performance will offer a story with profound emotional depth that skillfully unveils the moments of joy and harrowing horrors in the memories of the characters.
