Circus meets opera in this genre-busting production

Opera Australia, Opera Queensland & Circa

Journey to the underworld and back. Gluck’s heartbreaking opera follows the grieving Orpheus into the jaws of Hades to rescue his beloved Eurydice. He must complete his quest without looking back, or lose Eurydice forever.

Awe-inspiring acrobatics meets exquisite music in this contemporary reimagining. Projections seamlessly integrate surtitles into the action on stage, as brilliant singers come together with the trailblazing circus artists of Circa, one of Australia’s most successful cultural exports.

In this visually stunning production, Circa’s Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz has created a mesmerising experience, exploring the intersection between love and death.

The role of Orpheus demands vocal beauty and dramatic virtuosity, and the world’s best comes to the Sydney Opera House stage in sensational French countertenor Christophe Dumaux. He performs opposite Australian soprano Cathy-Di Zhang, making her role debut singing both Eurydice and Amor under the baton of conductor Dane Lam.

★★★★★ "Breathtaking."

– ARTS HUB

★★★★★ "So total is the acrobatic approach it affects not only the two eponymous singers but the heroic chorus and even the subtitles."
