The Cloak

Sharan Allad

Approved

A nautical noir opera under the stars and on the harbour.

Il Tabarro will be staged aboard The Carpentaria, a historic lightship built in 1917 – the same year Puccini finished work on the composition. Innovative director Constantine Costi and his team are taking this brooding opera to an updated setting inspired by 1930s Depression-era Sydney. Conductor Simon Bruckard leads a cast of exceptional Australian talent and a live orchestra for an unmissable night.

This event is free and ticketed. Register your interest to be notified when tickets are released in December.
