Victorian Opera: A Christmas Carol
December 17, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:20 pm
$30 – $100Celebrate the tale of A Christmas Carol with this very Melbourne production.
We are thrilled to present this new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol transported to contemporary Melbourne amongst terrace houses, the Vic Markets and Fed Square. It’s here, Ebenezer Scrooge, the Ghosts of Christmas’ Past, Present, and Yet to Come will guide you on this reimagined tale with Melbourne inspired characters from goths at Flinders Street Station to a Surf Life Saving Santa in this new Australian opera.
Composer Graeme Koehne (Love Burns) and writer Anna Goldsworthy (The Magic Pudding – The Opera) bring to life Dickens’ story about the importance of love, compassion and generosity. A perfect addition to any Christmas activity list.
