Rodgers and Hammerstein’s
South Pacific

Opera Australia brings the Lincoln Center Theatre’s multi-Tony-award-winning production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific to Sydney, with Teddy Tahu Rhodes starring as Emile.

“From the seductive swell of a 30-piece orchestra playing the glorious overture, through the poignant final tableau of love and reconciliation, this is ravishing theatre.” VARIETY

“An unabashedly beautiful score” NEWSWEEK

“A show you will remember forever” STAR-LEDGER

“Rapturous and revelatory” NEW YORK TIMES

Nellie is a nurse on a US naval base on a remote island somewhere in the Pacific. Emile is the local plantation owner. They fall in love almost instantly, but as Emile’s colourful past emerges Nellie loses her nerve. It may be paradise, but their world is still full of prejudice, racism and the harsh realities of war.

Relive the romance and remember those show-stopping numbers – ‘Some Enchanted Evening’, ‘I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair’, ‘Bali Ha’i’, ‘There is Nothin’ Like a Dame’ - when Opera Australia presents the Lincoln Center Theater’s breathtaking production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific, starring Teddy Tahu Rhodes.

This ground-breaking Broadway show, directed by Bartlett Sher, swept the 2008 Tony Awards and played to sold out houses in New York for two years. Now it comes to the Sydney Opera House for a strictly limited season. Whatever you do, don’t miss this great night out.
