| "the dark deeds and decadence
within the deep plush and deadened hush of the hotel" Here, in any one of the rooms of a slightly-faded, small hotel, are four women. The pensione has seen better days, but there on the waterfront, under the shadow of an overpass, it provides a welcome breathing space, a stopping place for each of them. The glamour girl on tour, the call girl on the make, the proprietress on the gin, the murderess on the run. All with a story to tell. |

Helen Medlyn - Narrator Manukau City Symphony Orchestra |
| In 1936 Natalya Sats and the Central Children's Theatre in Moscow commissioned Sergei Prokofievto write a new musical symphony to cultivate musical tastes in children from the first years of school. Intrigued by the invitation, Prokofiev completed Peter and the Wolf in just four days. The first recording in English was narrated by Richard Hale. There are also versions by members of the Prokofiev family, Sir Ralph Richardson, Sir John Gielgud, Sean Connery, Peter Ustinov, Hermione Gingold, Beatrice Lillie, Patrick Stewart, Dame Edna, Sting, David Attenborough and Sharon Stone. |

Orpheus Choir presents Messiah - Handel Saturday 4 December 2010 Wellington Town Hall Wakefield St, Wellington |
Helen Medlyn - Mezzo Soloist |
| Messiah is one of the most popular works in the Western choral literature. The libretto by Charles Jennens is drawn entirely from the King James and Great Bibles. Messiah, often called The Messiah incorrectly, was composed in London during the summer of 1741 and premiered in Dublin on 13 April 1742. It was revised repeatedly by Handel, reaching its most familiar version in the performance to benefit the Foundling Hospital in 1754. |
