Passion and peril. Heroes and monsters. Lovers and liars. Opera is always larger than life. With the power of music, these emotion-packed stories explore the joys, frailties and yearnings which make us human.

We're excited to bring you a thrilling summer of opera experiences, curated by one of Australia's great opera and festival directors: Lindy Hume. This season has a big focus on Australian voices and creative talent. We've found them so you can hear them, see them and celebrate them. Whether they're dazzling divas, masterful maestros or amazing acrobats, we want you to see the best.

Orpheus & Eurydice

Sydney
Opera Australia - Orpheus & Eurydice

Orpheus & Eurydice

Presented by Opera Australia and Sydney Festival in association with Circa

Fri, 12th to 31st January '24 in 3 months. Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney. Tickets $49 to $349

Journey to the underworld and back with the grieving Orpheus. This is opera like you've never seen before.

Awe-inspiring acrobatics meet Gluck's exquisite music in a genre-busting production, making this a highlight of Sydney Festival. Projections seamlessly integrate surtitles into the action on stage, as brilliant singers come together with the trailblazing circus artists of Circa, one of Australia's most successful cultural exports.

In this visually stunning production, Circa's Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz has created a mesmerising experience, exploring the intersection between love and death.

The role of Orpheus demands vocal beauty and dramatic virtuosity, and we're delighted to bring the world's best to your stage in sensational French countertenor Christophe Dumaux.
He performs opposite Australian soprano Cathy-Di Zhang, making her role debut singing both Eurydice and Amor under the baton of conductor Dane Lam.
