And they said it wouldn’t last... Opera Up Late is back in 2026 for its fourth year, hosted once again by international comedy and cabaret star Reuben Kaye.
Originally conceived for 2023’s Sydney WorldPride, Opera Up Late is a wild ride through the world of opera with a decidedly queer lens. With re-imagined opera hits, musical theatre classics and a few pop numbers along the way, this is the perfect chance for newbies to pop their operatic cherries and regulars to reacquaint themselves with a great love.
Award-winning director Shaun Rennie corrals a cast of fabulous singers for a night of big laughs and even bigger voices.
Dress up (or down), waltz your way through the Regent’s gilded auditorium, grab a drink and take your seats as we hit the highest of high notes.
1hr 15min.
Ages 16+.
