Gods Gone Wild

Forget tragedy – this is Orpheus as you've never seen him.

In Offenbach's satirical operetta, Orpheus and Eurydice aren't star-crossed lovers, they're a dysfunctional couple, and neither is particularly sad about their separation. When Eurydice descends into the underworld, it isn't tragedy that follows, but an all-out divine spectacle. The gods are bored, Hades is throwing a party, and the legendary Can-Can ignites chaos.

A co-production with the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, this riotous, visually spectacular production is helmed by acclaimed director Constantine Costi (La Traviata on Sydney Harbour). Expect razor-sharp wit, dazzling vocal performances, and a whirlwind of divine comedy and devilish fun. This is an unmissable mythological meltdown.

Can you laugh your way out of hell?
