Presented by West Australian Opera and Breaksea
An uplifting musical adventure of friendship and discovery, created for Albany 2026.
The adventure of Tipu the fox and Marri the echidna.
In the foxes’ city of Hillside, songs are trapped, stored, and consumed as energy. Tipu, the fox was raised as a Song Catcher. His friend Marri, the echidna, still holds a true, living song. When Tipu betrays Marri by catching his song, he triggers a catastrophic release of songs that have been trapped and stored, igniting fire and blame.
Fleeing into the Albany bush, Tipu and Marri reunite on an adventure to the mythical Listening Tree, a place of memory and renewal where they discover the power of listening.
With original music by Jarred Wall, West Australian Music 2025 Vocalist of the Year, and featuring Gina Williams-Ghouse, Jarrad Inman and Rachelle Durkin, The Song Catchers blends music, live performance and animation into a powerful and uplifting theatrical experience.
