Duck Pond at the Sydney Opera House tickets
About Duck Pond
The high-flying circus spectacular.
Feathers will fly as Circa’s extraordinary performers take flight in Duck Pond.
With soaring aerials, gravity-defying balances and daring leaps, this world-class ensemble transforms Swan Lake and The Ugly Duckling into a high-energy spectacle bursting with humour, heart and physical brilliance.
Expect spins, flips and feats of impossible grace as Duck Pond splashes into the Concert Hall, complete with a sequinned, flipper-wearing duck army, a burlesque black swan and a flock of acrobats who make the impossible look easy.
It's a dazzling tale of swans and hapless princes, told with the signature skills that have made Circa one of the world’s most renowned circus companies.
Be swept away by this reimagined fairy tale, sparkling with wit, wonder and wildly entertaining surprises, a show that will surely enchant everyone.
Presented by Sydney Opera House and Circa.
