Australia’s overlords of spooky soundscapes Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have announced that they will be playing three special shows at Sydney Opera House in December.

The duo are set to be accompanied by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, where they will be performing tracks penned for The Proposition (2005), The The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), The Road (2009) and Hell or High Water (2016).

“Very often a tension can happen between music and picture that is about chance and a kind of unknowingness that can be really amazing,” shared Cave. “Just by putting together two things that were created in isolation, music and film, suddenly something quite magical can happen.”

Cave and Ellis will take the Opera House stage on Sunday, December 8th and then twice on Monday, December 9th. You can find all the relevant ticket information below.
