Whether you think it’s embarrassing or wonderful (frankly I’ve been a bit of a fan since 1987) this is spectacular popular entertainment of the highest quality. Fantastic night out!

Reuben Kaye returns to the Opera House with 'Opera Up Late'

Sydney’s iconic Opera House is set to host an evening that promises to defy the traditional boundaries of opera with a twist only Reuben Kaye could deliver.

The irrepressible Kaye is returning to the Sydney Opera House with his irreverent take on all things operatic.

Held at Joan Sutherland Theatre on March 1, Opera Up Late is a unique mix of opera, comedy, and cabaret. Experience opera anew in this celebration of queer romance, comedy, and art.

Star-Studded Lineup 

Featuring the talents of operatic tenor Benjamin Rasheed, mezzo-soprano Ruth Strutt, soprano Cathy-Di Zhang, and musical theatre star Georgina Hopson. The event is a showcase of diversity and talent. Paul Fitzsimon, Opera Australia’s Chorus Master, will lead the musical direction, ensuring each note resonates with the audience’s soul.

Reuben Kaye has cemented himself as one of the biggest names in comedy and cabaret, both locally and overseas, with a massive following on Tiktok, Youtube and Instagram. His subversive comedy and quick wit are matched only by his impressive vocal range and his love of opera.

“Ever since I first forced my parents to watch me re-enact the final scenes of Carmen in full costume at 8 years old in the living room I have dreamed of this moment. And I plan to approach it with just as much subtlety, dignity and restraint.” Kaye said.

More opera! #StateTheatre #OA #OperaAustralia La Traviata (Elijah Moshinsky’s 1994 production). Yet another revival of this beautiful & cinematic production, but one which shows it still works, and is still worth seeing! And especially when starring someone as superb as Melbourne-born Stacey Alleaume, who left the audience gasping. Sadly Ho-Yoon Chung was a disappointing Alfredo, making us wonder if it was he who was ill, not Violetta. Interestingly Peter J Hall’s costume design drawing that appeared (briefly) on Peel St in February is from this production; I hope it’s found a nice home.
