Is death something that merely happens to us, or is dying something that we do? How might ethics inform the decisions we make for ourselves or for others? We often say that someone 'died well' - but is a 'good' death distinguishable from a 'good' life? Is our life ours to end when we think best? Do we owe obligations to the dead? Should we tell comforting lies to shield the world from unpleasant truths about the dead? Do the 'virtuous' and the 'wicked' all become equal in death? What is the status of a corpse? Join us to delve into the life's one unavoidable certainty; the ethics of death. This event is part of 'The Ethics of' trilogy which includes ' The Ethics of Sex ' and ' The Ethics of Loneliness '.

The third event of Sydney Environment Institute's Communities on the Frontline Series explores how Australia can ensure its agricultural future through regenerative farming and transitioning away from harmful coal seam gas extraction.

Yet there remains a significant investment and prospecting for coal seams gas projects such as Shell and Arrow Energy's Surat Gas Project in the Darling Downs of Queensland.

Irresistibly charming and wickedly funny, Orontea deftly combines Cesti's melodic inventiveness with Cicognini's clever and comic libretto. Despite renouncing love, Queen Orontea finds herself falling for a handsome refugee artist, Alidoro, only to discover that she has most of the women in her court as rivals. Add to the mix her moralistic councillor Creonte, the scheming courtesan Silandra, and the maidservant Giacinta, who disguises herself as a boy - only to accidentally inspire the affections of Alidoro's lascivious mother, Aristea. Orontea features an artfully assembled cast led by stunning soprano Anna Dowsley - star of the film A Delicate Fire - together with Pinchgut fan-favourites Max Riebl, David Greco, Jacqueline Dark and Andrew O'Connor.

Among the tragic stories of the Holocaust, often told but rarely understood, is the legend surrounding the genesis of the vast collection of Jewish ritual objects in Prague. It was meticulously catalogued by curators of the Prague Jewish Museum during the Nazi occupation of Bohemia and Moravia. Between 1942 and 1945, the museum was transformed into the largest depository of objects of Judaica in the world. To this day, the idea of the Nazis' intention to create a 'museum of an extinct race' still prevails. Drawing on recent research by the post-communist generation of Czech historians, Dr. Jana Vytrhlik discusses the myth and introduces a more perceptive and accurate account of the past events in Prague. Dr. Jana Vytrhlik is a Prague-born art historian specialising in Judaica and synagogue architecture with a PhD in Art History, University of Sydney.

This theatre vignette is curated by Beckett's founder and playwright-director Wendy Beckett ( Claudel at The Opera House).

Globally, we have learnt many lessons from the pandemic - that public health shouldn't be politicised, that we cannot stop COVID-19 without a global response, and that the cracks of inequality between nations have become impossible to ignore. How can we use what we have learnt over the last two years to ensure we emerge a healthier and fairer society? Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard is now the Chair of the Wellcome Trust, a not-for-profit global organisation that supports science to solve urgent health challenges equitably. She joins journalist Tegan Taylor for an evening of conversation exploring how to leverage science and make advances in health available to everyone.
