Further Information Abandon is the critically-acclaimed collaboration between Dancenorth’s Raewyn Hill and Opera Queensland’s Lindy Hume. It is inspired by the da capo aria form of musical composition, a form with a three-phase journey interpreting, analyzing and exploring a single emotion in depth and complexity.
