The Sydney Opera House honours our First Nations by fostering a shared sense of belonging for all Australians, and we acknowledge the Gadigal, traditional custodians of Tubowgule, the land on which the Opera House stands.
The Choir of Man opens at the Sydney Opera House this summer. The international smash hit returns to Australia after sold-out US and European tours and direct from a four-year West End run that welcomed more than 280,000 people across a thousand performances.
Set in an on-stage pub, an ensemble of nine multitalented instrumentalists combine foot-stomping singalongs and rollicking entertainment in this uplifting and celebratory production. Featuring classic rock, pub anthems and pop hits from artists such as Queen, Adele, Guns & Roses, Paul Simon, Avicii and Sia, this riotous night out is the greatest trip to “the local” you’ll ever have.
Cast highlights: Mark Loveday (Barman), Ifan Gwilym-Jones (Maestro), Cal T King (Beast), Conor Mellor (Joker), George Knapper (Handyman), Paul McArthur (Poet), Kristian Morse (The Hard Man), Tyler Orphe-Baker (Bore), Tristan Whincup (Romantic). Resident Director and Swing Norton James, with Alex Mallalieu and Bradley Walwyn as Swings.
Creator and Director Nic Doodson: “The Choir of Man is about individuality, generosity, humour and the joy of making music together. It’s a celebration of connection and belonging, brought to life by extraordinary voices and a soundtrack you already know and love.”
Sydney Opera House Head of Contemporary Performance Harry Prouse: “Brimming with joy, The Choir of Man is an incredible success story… It’s pure entertainment – equal parts pub night and live gig, all in an ode to friendship.”
