In 2000, the project "The Theft of Sita" (a collaboration with Wayan Yudane) came to fruition; it combined jazz elements, Balinese gamelan music and puppetry. The piece premiered in Adelaide, and has since toured worldwide. In that year, Grabowsky was also involved in the writing music for the opening ceremonies of the Sydney Olympics and the Paralympics. Since then, he has written the opera "Love in the Age of Therapy" (libretto by Joanna Murray-Smith) commissioned by Melbourne Festival and Sydney Festival, and the symphony "Streets of Hurqalya" (26 June 2002), commissioned by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Among his recent film scores are Fred Schepisi's "Last Orders" and "It Runs in the Family", "The Eye Of The Storm," "Empire Falls" (HBO)Paul Cox's "The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky", and Disney's "The Jungle Book 2". From 2003 to 2007, Grabowsky was commissioner at the Australian Film Commission. In 2004 he became involved in Charles Darwin University's Remote Indigenous Music Program.
