Eucalyptus at Sydney Opera House tickets
About Eucalyptus
Ellen’s beauty is famous for miles around. Her overprotective father has created a safe place to protect her from the world: a forest of Eucalypts.
But is the forest a sanctuary or is Ellen imprisoned?
Eucalyptus is a new opera by Jonathan Mills, based on Murray Bail’s beloved novel. It’s part Australian fairy tale and part musical evocation of the Australian bush. In this dappled landscape lurks both beauty and wonder . Renowned Australian playwright and director Michael Gow directs this Sydney premiere.
