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

Rigoletto - Opera
2026-07-21 - 2026-08-21
Rigoletto – Opera by Verdi

A father’s curse, a daughter’s destiny. When innocence is lost, revenge becomes the only prayer.
In the Duke’s notorious soirées, one man’s words shimmer with a dark allure. Amid glamorous women and shady gangsters, Rigoletto serves his master with clever deflection and guarded eyes.
From the very beginning, Verdi knew he had a masterpiece. The tale is rich with intrigue: royalty, loyalty, passion, and vengeance.
And the music? It’s unforgettable. So full of irresistible melodies that Verdi demanded absolute secrecy from the premiere cast—his tenor was forbidden even to whistle the iconic “La donna è mobile” outside rehearsals. Yet by the morning after its debut, that tune echoed through the streets, securing its place in history.
Elijah Moshinsky’s beloved production of Rigoletto returns to the Sydney Opera House, dazzling with La Dolce Vita-inspired glamour, a scene-stealing Fiat 500, and a revolving, dollhouse-style set that brings cinematic detail to every moment.
