A complex life which came into conflict with the political and religious powers of the day, Galileo is a searching meditation amidst questions of faith in a violent, hostile and uncertain world.
Told through a collaboration with filmmaker Jamie Clennett (The Who’s Tommy), the combined forces of La Compañia and Orchestra Victoria, and starring Victorian Opera favourite, baritone Samuel Dundas as Galileo — this project will celebrate the artistic legacy of Richard Mills while welcoming Victorian Opera’s new Artistic Director, Stuart Maunder as director.

The Palais Theatre is an accessible venue with ample parking spaces within the St Kilda Precinct. Inside the venue are various facilities, including a lift to Level One of the building.
GETTING TO THE VENUE
Important information for your visit to the Palais Theatre:
Road Closure: Cavell Street
Cavell Street is now closed while construction is underway.
To plan your visit to the Palais Theatre, we recommend checking the City of Port Phillip website for frequent updates on road closures here.
The Forecourt (front of venues) of both the Palais Theatre and Luna Park will be upgraded between January and August 2024. These works may cause some minor disruptions in relation to changing access pathways and potentially slower entry times to the Venue, so we recommend you allow an extra 15 minutes to access the venue.
All entry doors will be located at the front of the venue.
