BARBRA: The Greatest Star
“Looking down, you’ll never see me. Try the sky, ’cause that’ll be me…”
Artist. Icon. A creative storm all her own. We’re striking up the band and lifting the roof in a concert celebration of a trailblazing storyteller whose music has echoed across generations.
Barbra Streisand stands as a radiant, uncompromising, genre-shaping force, and Barbra: The Greatest Star salutes her extraordinary catalogue, quick wit, and culture-shifting influence with the same bold spirit she’s carried through stage and screen for more than six decades.
Director-performer Brittanie Shipway (Once On This Island; The Pirates of Penzance) joins forces with three phenomenal vocalists and a live three-piece band to revel in Streisand’s treasure-chest of songs. Together, they offer fresh interpretations, behind-the-music reflections, and a handful of unexpected delights. The night unfolds with towering ballads, punchy showstoppers, and tender moments that reveal the heartbeat of Barbra’s singular artistry.
This isn’t a simple homage to yesterday. It’s a luminous journey through the legacy of a superstar.

Lacrima – Sydney Festival 2026
Australian PremiereFrom the Théâtre national de Strasbourg
A royal wedding is on the horizon: the Princess of England is about to marry, and across the world, designers and artisans scramble to create a gown worthy of the occasion. In Paris, a fashion house works in secrecy; in Alençon, Normandy, lacemakers craft delicate details; in Mumbai, embroiderers thread shimmering motifs into the fabric.
LACRIMA interweaves these stories to reveal the hidden human labour behind every stitch. Director and playwright Caroline Guiela Nguyen blends thorough research, intimate theatre, and cinematic scale in this ambitious work. Split-screen effects, shifting sets, and live close-up video create the sensation of a living film, immersing audiences in the tension and emotional stakes of the journey.
Performed in French, Tamil, English, and sign language with surtitles, LACRIMA explores themes of globalisation, labour, and beauty, crafting a compelling and deeply human story.
Over three captivating hours, this landmark production exposes the invisible threads that connect us all, offering a rare chance to witness theatre on a truly global scale.

Co-created by acclaimed theatre-makers Cassandra Fumi and Vidya Rajan alongside a powerhouse ensemble of children, THE CENSOR is a breath of liberation for any kid tired of being overruled.

Eugene Onegin - Opera
2026-03-17 - 2026-03-28
Eugene Onegin

In the haze of youth and its stormy moods, she lingered… yet the face she longed for remained a mystery.
Tatyana drifts through life with her head tucked inside romantic tales. When the charismatic Eugene Onegin steps across her path, she senses her own story stirring to life. Her hope is bright, but Onegin turns it aside.
Eugene Onegin traces the fragile arc between possibility and what is forever lost. The space between them becomes its own quiet disaster. Tchaikovsky’s luxurious score shapes an opera steeped in memory, longing, and the ache of hindsight.
Kasper Holten’s “hyper-intelligent, deeply moving” staging (Limelight) brings reflection into sharp focus. Through vivid flashbacks, Tatyana and Onegin stand witness to their younger selves making decisions that will echo through the years.
Lauren Fagan returns in triumph after her searing performance as Suor Angelica in Il Trittico. She appears alongside Ukrainian baritone Andrei Bondarenko as Onegin and rising Australian tenor Nicholas Jones as Lensky.
Anna Skryleva steps onto the Opera Australia podium for the first time to lead one of Tchaikovsky’s most treasured masterpieces. The Romantic music enriches Pushkin’s tale of love unreturned and hearts undone.

My fellow Australians… some women simply cannot be tamed. Sybylla Melvyn is back, and she’s more daring than ever.

A Man of No Importance
2026-03-25 - 2026-03-27 | Hayes Theatre, Elizabeth Bay
A Man of No Importance

Presented by Neglected Musicals in association with Hayes Theatre Co
Set in Dublin in 1964, this musical follows Alfie Byrne, a middle-aged bachelor leading a quiet life with his devoted spinster sister. By day he works as a bus conductor, but by night he transforms into an amateur theatre impresario, passionately devoted to staging the plays of his idol, Oscar Wilde.
Alfie is a modest, reserved man whose greatest joy comes from directing his small theatre group in the local church. But when he announces that their next production will be Wilde’s daring Salome—instead of their usual The Importance of Being Earnest—the church authorities balk at the “immodest dancing,” and Alfie’s carefully ordered world begins to unravel.
After years of hiding, Alfie is forced to confront who he truly is and embrace the life he’s been avoiding. As Wilde famously said, “The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.”
First performed Off-Broadway in 2002, this production is part of Neglected Musicals, a theatre initiative dedicated to bringing rarely seen or never-before-staged musicals to Australian audiences. Shows are performed with scripts in hand, piano accompaniment, and only a day of rehearsal, celebrating the raw charm and discovery of overlooked works.
Neglected Musicals is a theatre initiative dedicated to presenting musical theatre that has never (or rarely) been seen in Australia. The musicals are presented with scripts in hand, and with piano accompaniment after only a day’s rehearsal.

Gutenberg! The Musical!
2026-04-10 - 2026-05-10 | Hayes Theatre, Elizabeth Bay
Gutenberg! The Musical!
Meet Bud and Doug. Tonight could change everything for them.
From the team behind Beetlejuice: The Musical comes the Broadway sensation Gutenberg! The Musical! – a gleefully chaotic love letter to the dreamers of theatre and the art form itself. It’s a riotous, sharply silly tale about friendship, ambition, and the kind of stubborn optimism that might just reshape the world, or at least haul you all the way to Broadway.
Bud and Doug are inseparable companions. Together, they’ve crafted a colossal musical about Johannes Gutenberg (yes, the printing-press pioneer) complete with a massive cast and lavish spectacle. After pouring their souls into it, they’re unveiling the whole extravaganza in a single backer’s audition, performing every role themselves with nothing but a mountain of baseball caps, explosive enthusiasm, and the tireless support of their pianist, Charles. Monks, villagers, tavern girls, or essential characters like “Friend of Gutenberg” and “Another Woman” – no part is too odd, too earnest, or too improvised for these two.
Richard Carroll (Murder For Two, The Pirates of Penzance) helms Australia’s first staging of Gutenberg! since its record-breaking Broadway run in 2023–24. Sydney Theatre Award winners Stephen Anderson (Titanique) and Ryan Gonzalez (In The Heights) lead this jubilantly irreverent salute to creativity, tenacity, and the pure delight of putting on a show nobody asked for but everyone ends up loving.

Starring Anton Berezin and directed by Therèsa Borg, this moving solo performance tells the extraordinary true story of Holocaust survivor Eddie Jaku, adapted from his international bestselling memoir.
Born in Germany in 1920, Eddie survived imprisonment in Buchenwald and Auschwitz, a death march, and the loss of his family before finding refuge in Sydney, where he chose to live with hope, kindness and gratitude. His powerful message — that “happiness is a choice” — remains as urgent and inspiring as ever.
Praised as “deeply moving” and “gripping” by critics across the UK and US, this production is a stirring testament to resilience, remembrance and the strength of the human spirit.

Saplings
2026-05-16 - 2026-05-17 | Sydney Opera House, Sydney
Saplings
Stories from the law and justice system
“I wasn’t there because I wanted to be—I was there because I had to be. If Josh hadn’t eaten my noodles, I wouldn’t be here…”
Would you break bail for a packet of Mi Goreng? Snitch on a mate to save yourself? In Saplings, small choices spiral into life-changing consequences. Yani wants to go to the Easter Show, Kai wants a sense of home, Shanika wants her mum back, and Lachlan just wants his noodles—but when the justice system stands in their way, growing up gets a whole lot harder.
After winning the Sydney Theatre Award for Best Production for Young People, Saplings returns to Sydney. Written by Hannah Belanszky and directed by Abbie-lee Lewis, this powerful, funny and heartbreaking production is drawn from workshops with young people in the youth justice system. Four young actors play multiple roles in a poetic, raw show set to a rap and hip-hop soundtrack created by young people themselves.
Honest, moving and unforgettable, Saplings celebrates First Nations creativity and the resilience of young people.
For ages 14+

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Musical
2026-05-22 - 2026-06-21 | Hayes Theatre, Elizabeth Bay
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Musical

The scheme is set in motion.Prepare to be charmed, tricked, and utterly carried away — Dirty Rotten Scoundrels arrives at the Hayes in a sparkling new staging packed with flair, folly, and the most delectable duplicity.
Adapted from the beloved 1988 film with Michael Caine and Steve Martin, this Tony-nominated musical follows two master swindlers — the polished, calculating Lawrence Jamieson and the chaotic wildcard Freddy Benson — as they clash on the French Riviera in a high-stakes duel of deceit. Their chosen mark: a seemingly naïve American heiress. But in a landscape stitched together from fibs and fresh identities, nobody is quite who they claim to be.
With Jeffrey Lane’s razor-bright script and David Yazbek’s wickedly playful score (The Band’s Visit; Tootsie; The Full Monty), Scoundrels delivers a whirlwind of absurd antics, infectious rhythms, and satire with bite. Expect daring physical comedy, sleek sophistication, and performances gleaming like a Riviera sunset. This new Hayes production tips its hat to the pure theatrical thrill of make-believe.
Perfect for devotees of the film, fans of sharp-witted musical theatre, and anyone who secretly enjoys a silver-tongued scoundrel.
