SYDNEY WORLDPRIDE

Feb 18th & 23rd

Sydney Opera House - Joan Sutherland Theatre

A late-night celebration for the ages! Opera Australia is throwing open the doors to Australia’s most famous cultural icon for Sydney WorldPride with two exclusive concert performances of Opera Up Late. Making a grand debut at the Sydney Opera House, international cabaret star and opera lover Reuben Kaye will host this late-night celebration of queer romance, drag and music. Directed by the awardwinning Shaun Rennie, this production has a distinctively Australian flavour, including re-imagined opera classics plus a few musical theatre and pop numbers along the way... this is no regular night at the opera! Opera Up Late offers a rare after-hours glimpse at what the stars of Opera Australia get up to when they unlace the corsets and take off the wigs. Please note this production may contain adult themes, coarse language, and sexual content (...if you’re lucky!).
