In January 2018 in Coburg, a hundred years on, the anti-conscription activists and campaigns of Melbourne were remembered through the performance of the street opera Serenading Adela outside the former Pentridge Prison.

The production was based on the protest outside Pentridge Prison in January 1918 to support Adela Pankhurst, and also on the subsequent history of women's activism including reflections on the Vietnam Era and the current period. It included songs that were sung by the first serenaders, an adaptation of Doris Blackburn’s poem “Peace Talk”, and original compositions.  

Serenading Adela was produced in conjunction with the Brunswick Coburg Anti-Conscription Commemoration Campaign.
