The Merry Widow

Let’s waltz, let’s sway the night away. It’s time for a little romance.
Sway, smile and swoon your way through our delicious production of The Merry Widow.
It’s an opulent party, all glitz and glamour and Parisian charm. It’s an old-fashioned romance, flirty and funny and fabulous. It’s a Viennese waltz and you know all the steps.
The Merry Widow is a “shimmering all-singing, all-dancing Broadway-style show” (The Sydney Morning Herald), a frothy comedy packed with familiar waltzes and tuneful melodies. From the sumptuous Art Deco era costumes to the glamourous, geometric sets, the show is “visually stunning …sometimes you simply don’t know where to look” (The Sydney Morning Herald).
International opera star Emma Pearson and beloved Australian soprano Julie Lea Goodwin share the role of Hanna, bringing their own unique energies to the iconic role. They’re supported by Alexander Lewis, returning with his acclaimed portrayal of Danilo, and Alexandra Flood, a dazzling Australian singer making waves internationally.
Graeme Murphy brings his signature brand of lively choreography and deft direction to the dance-packed score.

Pride & Prejudice (sort of)

By Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen

The Five-Star West End Hit

Music, mischief, and mayhem.
After its acclaimed London run, where it won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Pride and Prejudice (sort of) offers a bold and inventive take on Jane Austen’s beloved tale of love and social intrigue. With men, money, and microphones all up for grabs, this irreverent yet affectionate adaptation turns the stakes of romance up to the max.
Praised as “smart, laugh-out-loud funny” (Daily Telegraph), the show features a lively mix of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, and You’re So Vain.
Making its Sydney debut, five dynamic women bring Austen’s world of love, class, and chaos vividly to life. Packed with heart, humour, and unstoppable energy, they deliver a fresh, modern twist on one of literature’s most cherished classics.
Presented by Sydney Opera House in association with Gooding and Woodward Productions, by arrangement with David Pugh Limited.
Playing at the Sydney Opera House
140 minutes, including 20 minute interval
