You won’t be able to stop yourself from falling in love with this comedy opera where Puccini meets Elvis.
The greatest hits of opera in one night. This is a show for everybody – from opera buffs to those who don’t know their Aida’s from their arias.
World class singers combine physical comedy, opera classics and pop hits, from Whitney Houston to Mika and Sinatra to Elton John. Experience all the comedy, tragedy and melodrama of opera with this outstanding Spanish company.
A spectacular love story filled with colourful characters: Alfredo, a worn-out tenor with a glorious past; Enrique, the baritone precise in his macho swagger; Franelli, a quirky, pop-loving counter-tenor; Maria, a dreamy and naive soprano; and Carmen, a wild mezzo soprano.
The Operas Locos is totally unique, wildly passionate, and utterly hilarious.

Behind them is a navy velvet curtain. The female performers wear bright blue wigs and all are wearing exaggerated make up and face paint.
Opera Locos is a complete hit

Joyous to see an inter-generational audience enjoying and having fun together. Great to see opera being so accessible.
