Siegfried & Roy: The Unauthorised Opera
This comedic musical biopic about the infamous magical duo with a dangerous penchant for big cats is ready to cast a spell on Sydney Festival.
Overview
Two of magic's most outrageous luminaries take the spotlight for this romp through their unlikely rise to fame and their ultimately bloody fall. Their rags-to-riches story — escaping war-torn childhoods in Germany to become Vegas' highest-paid act — is one of entertainment's most remarkable tales, and through it all, Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn were inseparable — romantic partners, closest confidants and each other's inspiration. However, their infamous casino residency brazenly toyed with tragedy as they took to the stage each night with their pet adult male white tiger Mantacore — a decision that would eventually prove to be wildly misguided.
A Sydney Festival exclusive, this hilarious new opera, created by composer Luke Di Somma and director Constantine Costi with costumes by Tim Chappel, features powerhouse vocals from Kanen Breen and Christopher Tonkin, live magic and a helluva lot of Vegas-level razzle-dazzle.
