The Merry Widow at The Sydney Opera House

What your day looks like

No trip to Sydney is complete without a visit to the Sydney Opera House, the city’s most famous building. And what better to do when visiting the Sydney Opera House than to spend a pleasant evening inside, enjoying a must-see opera production. 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). New Zealand-born 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. Performed in English with English and simplified Chinese surtitles.
