[title]Take the struggling artists of the Bohemian movement and plonk them in New York City’s East Village in the late 1980s. That’s the setting for Broadway smash-hit Rent. The rock musical has warmed hearts, taken home a Pulitzer Prize and multiple Tony Awards, and now it’s landing at the Sydney Opera House’s Joan Sutherland Theatre this spring.
The production follows a close-knit group of creative friends all dealing with different challenges, from illness to addiction, while grappling with the threat that they’ll be evicted from their homes. Experience the raw intensity of the human condition through powerhouse numbers like ‘Take Me or Leave Me’ and ‘La Vie Bohème’.
If you’re a big-time ‘Rent-head’, you’ll be delighted to know that there’s a singalong edition on October 23 where you won’t need to keep your humming to yourself when belters like ‘Seasons of Love’ start.
Book in for premium reserve tickets with three of your mates and save up to $108* or book in with Opera Australia’s ‘dinner on us’ promotion and you’ll be eating pretty at Circular Quay’s Eastbank, Searock Grill or Bennie’s with a glass of vino pre-show for free*.
See Rent at the Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House for a strictly limited season until November 1. Find out more here.
