Why watch Opera Up Late?

Spend a glamorous evening at the Joan Sutherland Theatre to celebrate queer pride at the opera with your naughty host, Reuben Kaye. In this deliciously subversive late-night romp, high opera collides head-on with drag cabaret to create something entirely new and utterly fabulous. Tap your feet to showstopping hits with a distinctly Australian flavor as award-winning director Shaun Rennie curates an extravagant performance with a legendary cast of exceptional vocalists from Opera Australia. Experience opera stripped bare of pretension as Reuben raids Opera Australia's costume wardrobe, whose own family history with opera includes a grandmother who once hand-delivered cake to Dame Joan Sutherland at the Opera House stage door.

Through re-imagined arias and theatrical mashups, witness the story of opera's perpetually queer soul w
