Rachmaninoff was the last of the great Romantic composer-pianists, and the music he wrote for himself to play marries supreme virtuosity and impeccable style to a gift for rhapsodic melodies and richly imagined harmonies. There are no piano concertos quite like Rachmaninoff's, and Bernd Glemser will bring to the second concerto the grandeur and distinction it demands.

This exhibition of 100 drawings offers an in-depth exploration of the development of French art over the course of the 19th century.

In the second half of the 20th century, Sin City was in every way a fitting nickname for Sydney. Organised crime held a grip on the city and corruption was rife, infiltrating the top levels of politics, law and justice. Focusing on the 1940s to the 1980s, this exhibition will examine some of the audacious crimes, fascinating people and various vice trades - from suburban SP bookmakers and sly-grog sellers to narcotics dealers and flashy illegal casinos - that bankrolled corruption.

Hailed by critics as the great American play of our time, August: Osage County is a rare gem of a drama. In the tradition of Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, playwright Tracy Letts tells a story of grand scale that is at once entertaining, funny and deeply moving. By showing us this family in meltdown Letts' play holds a magnifying glass up to American society today, revealing its tragic dysfunction and lost idealism.

It's Friday night. Stag Lee is 17, bored and figuring out how to make fast money from a life of crime.

In a heartbeat the duo are headed north in search of refuge. Marooned in an unforgiving landscape, this unlikely Bonnie and Clyde are forced to hunker down and confront who they really are.

A small American town like any other; simple, sleepy and cheerful. People here are like people anywhere else: they are born, they fall in love, they die. Ordinary people leading ordinary lives. Or so we might believe, until the Stage Manager - our guide for the evening - takes us on a tour of the town and we begin to glimpse how extraordinary even the most ordinary of lives can be.
