Smith’s viola isn’t simply an heirloom of Australian craftsmanship; it’s a reminder that artistry depends less on geography than on curiosity and will.

Vale Aubrey.

Opera Australia pays tribute to the extraordinary Aubrey Murphy, Concertmaster of the Opera Australia Orchestra from 2001 to 2012, who passed away in London this week.

Aubrey led the Orchestra under Opera Australia music directors at the time, Simone Young and Richard Hickox, as well as the Australian Ballet’s Nicolette Fraillon. He performed a wide repertoire, from the works of Verdi, Puccini, and Mozart to productions such as Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos, Salome, and Lulu, Dvořák’s Rusalka, and Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. He returned on several occasions, most notably to lead Die Walküre and Götterdämmerung in Opera Australia’s 2013 Ring Cycle.

He was an exceptional musician, a friend, and a mentor to many in the orchestra today, and will be deeply missed.

Our thoughts are with Aubrey’s family and friends.
