Have you ever wondered how a musical is written? At this year's Adelaide Cabaret Festival, the Tony-nominated composer and lyricist Eddie Perfect hosted an event that brought us into that process. Eddie and another musical theatre composer, Gillian Cosgriff, share their insights and debut brand new songs in our music studio.

Also, Richard Mills' forthcoming opera Galileo explores the life of the pioneering Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei. Performed by Victorian Opera, Galileo will have its world premiere at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne. Richard joins us at the piano to share stories from his own life as a composer.
