The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a leading cultural figure in the Australian arts landscape.

'Love is a Temporary Madness’ was filmed in February 2021 at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl as part of the MSO’s free concert series held every Summer. Vanessa Perica's world premiere, Love Is A Temporary Madness takes its name from Louis de Bernière's novel, Captain Corelli's Mandolin: "Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides", and closes the concert with a boom (not a sigh).
