About True Love Story

Against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death this "true" love story from the Middle Ages charts the passionate affair between the 14th century's most celebrated poet and composer, Guillaume de Machaut, and his super-fan, a beautiful noblewoman called Péronnelle d'Armentières. Their poetry, their letters, and Machaut's extraordinary music combine to produce a unique semi-staged multi-sensory experience.

About The Song Company

Australia's Premier Vocal Ensemble. Since the dawn of history, the human voice and the act of singing have been intrinsically linked with storytelling and the acquisition of culture. The Song Company belongs to a land whose first peoples used songlines and vocal music to pass knowledge and culture from generation to generation, and is proud to continue that tradition, in a unique way, sharing music from across western and non-western art traditions. From its beginnings in 1984 the ensemble's schedule has grown to include a mix of national and international touring, a subscription series in cities across Australia, recording and broadcast projects, education activities, and special collaborative projects.
