A thrilling encounter with one of the world’s great art capitals.
Based on a major exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford, Tokyo Stories spans 400 years of incredibly dynamic art – ranging from the delicate woodblock prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige to Pop Art posters, contemporary photography, Manga, film, and brand-new artworks that were created on the streets.

A beautifully illustrated and richly detailed film, looking at a city which has undergone constant destruction and renewal over its 400-year history, resulting in one of the most vibrant and interesting cities on the planet…
A celebration of Tokyo: one of the world’s most creative, dynamic and fascinating cities.

In preparation for the event, take a little step back in time and check out the booklet below, produced for the opening concert in 1983.

Capri Theatre Organ – Inaugural Concert Booklet, April 1983

TONY FENELON, OAM

It was inevitable from an early age that music would play a significantly major role in Tony Fenelon’s life. As a child, he showed astounding talent as a pianist, and, in later years, studied at the Conservatorium of Music in Melbourne, Australia under famed teacher Mr. Roy Shepherd. His successes included winning the Victorian Final of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Concerto and Vocal Competitions, playing the Liszt Piano Concerto No.2 with the Victorian Symphony Orchestra. He was also winner of the Open and Bach sections at the National Eisteddfod in Canberra, with his performances of Chopin, Liszt and Bach. Shortly after, he obtained the highest marks ever awarded for his Licentiate Diploma in Performing Piano at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.

Tony’s insatiable interest in lighter music and a love of the majestic sound of the theatre pipe organ led to him excelling in two diverse careers concurrently. A Science graduate from Melbourne University, he went on to become Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Royal Melbourne Hospital where he was credited as the joint designer of Australia’s first implantable cardiac pacemaker, His other career was as a master of the keyboard; the piano, organ and theatre organ which led to his appointment in 1965 as the resident organist at Melbourne’s then prestigious Regent Theatre and eventually led to a full-time music performance career.

Now an internationally acclaimed artist, Tony career has taken him on more than thirty world tours, visiting many countries, including the United States, the U.K. and Japan. He has released record albums in various countries – his first, at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne, earning him four gold records. He has explored the world of electronic music, MIDI and computers, and has had many of his orchestral arrangements and CDs featured on ABC FM radio in Australia. Tony’s association with the Roland Corporation saw him performing promotional concerts throughout Australia, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and New Zealand on Roland’s extensive range of musical instruments.

Tony’s concerts provide a tasteful balance between popular tunes and light classics and include music from the films, stage shows, jazz, and great standards. As the piano has always been his first love, his extensive repertoire of piano classics now forms an increasingly large proportion of his concerts, a feature widely requested by his audiences.

With John Atwell, Tony is Co-Patron of TOSA (SA).

DR JOHN ATWELL

Dr John Atwell has had the pleasure of entertaining audiences on the theatre organ for tnearly 50 years, both in Australia and around the world – in the United Kingdom, USA, Canada and New Zealand. In that time he has developed a reputation for providing programs, whether in concert or on recordings, which are carefully put together to provide a variety of enjoyable music, with a balance between the familiar and the not so well known. His playing style is not easily pigeonholed, but reflects the diversity of his musical experience.

Highlights over the past years have included piano/organ duo concerts presented with Tony Fenelon, his long time friend and musical colleague for over 40 years. In June 2010, John and Tony were privileged to present the opening concert of the annual Convention of the American Theatre Organ Society at the Paramount Theatre, Seattle. It was there that John released his new recording made on the Style H Wurlitzer, once in the Prince Edward Theatre, Sydney, now installed in the Marrickville Town Hall. In September 2010 they joined in the celebration of TOSA Vic’s 50th year by playing the opening concert at the Dendy Theatre Brighton following the extensive renovation of the organ.

John is also an experienced classical organist and over the years he has played many classical organ recitals, In 2004 he took part in the concerts to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the installation of the organ in the Sydney Opera House. He is also an experienced accompanist, both on piano and organ. He spent many years as accompanist and resident artist with the Maroondah Singers, as well as with other choirs in the Melbourne area.

John is co-patron of the Theatre Organ Society Divisions in both South Australia and New South Wales. John is also one of the house organists at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne home to the 4/36 Wurlitzer organ, previously installed in the Paramount Theatre, San Francisco. He has played for the premiere performance of “Ned Kelly” with Heath Ledger and the movie version of “Phantom of the Opera”, as well as seasons of Gone With the Wind and Dr Zhivago, plus a special tribute to Frank Sinatra.

John has retired from his full-time career as a medical research scientist. He has a doctorate in immunology and published many scientific papers and several patents. However, John has found that retirement does not necessarily mean you have more time on your hands.

Charade + the music of Johnny Mercer live on stage

Johnny Mercer was best known as a Tin Pan Alley lyricist, who wrote many successful hits including the title track from Charade, for which he won an Oscar. Some of his other hits include ‘THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC,’ ‘DAY IN DAY OUT,’ ‘MOON RIVER,’ ‘HIT THE ROAD TO DREAMLAND’ and ‘ONE FOR MY BABY.’

Then we’ll screen the Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant classic, Charade, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary.
Charade is a classic comedic thriller where a trio of crooks relentlessly pursue a young American, played by Audrey Hepburn in gorgeous Givenchy, through Paris in an attempt to recover the fortune her dead husband stole from them. The only person she can trust is Cary Grant’s suave, mysterious stranger. Director Stanley Donen goes deliciously dark for Charade, a glittering emblem of sixties style and macabre wit.

EOS - Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman
2023-03-12 16:00 - 17:30
Exhibition on Screen presents Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman
Mary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her. Her radical images showed them as intellectual, feminine and real, which was a major shift in the way women appeared in art.
Presenting her astonishing prints, pastels, and paintings, this film introduces us to the often-overlooked Impressionist whose own career was as full of contradiction as the women she painted.
She printed, sketched, and painted dozens of images of mothers and children yet she never married or had children herself. She was a classically trained artist but chose to join a group of Parisian radicals – the Impressionists – a movement that transformed the language of art.
The world’s most eminent Cassatt curators and scholars help tell this riveting tale of great social and cultural change; a time when women were fighting for their rights and the language of art was completely re-written. Mary Cassatt and her modern women were at the heart of it all.
Despite being a prolific painter of women, Cassatt detested being described as a ‘woman painter’.
Cassatt was born in America and became one of America’s most well-known artists.

Doug Stanhope - Live on Stage
2023-03-01 20:00 - 22:00
Doug Stanhope is an American stand-up comedian, author, political activist and podcast host. His stand-up material favors caustic and often obscene observations of life in the style of Bill Hicks and Bill Burr, which he delivers while consuming alcohol.
“He blazed with the honesty, outrage and lucidity that made his name… Much of what’s wrong with the world melts away in Stanhope’s flame… comedy with brains and guts and a heart”, “the charm, don’t-give-a-damn swagger and aggressive intelligence that make for important, exciting comedy.”
– The Guardian, London
“There’s a kind of Olympic torch of extreme American comedy, which passed from Lenny Bruce, through Richard Pryor and Sam Kinison… to the late Bill Hicks. Stanhope is the latest, and equally brilliant, bearer.”
– Independent on Sunday
“Stanhope’s stage show is a momentous thing to behold. Don’t expect typical Bush-bashing or paper-thin material – he takes no prisoners in his ruthless baiting of everything that gets under his skin.” Glasgow Evening Times “On his way to self-immolation, Stanhope works through an hour of brilliant material which slaughters just about every sacred cow on the farm.”
– The Scotsman, Edinburgh
