Experience the epic story of Handel's Messiah brought to life through a production that has captivated audiences since 2011.

Seen by over 14,600 audience, the Merry Opera is going on our 18th tour of the staged Messiah by George Frideric Handel: Twelve strangers seek spiritual comfort in their struggle to understand the world. Singing together in a church, they inspire each other to pick up the ragged ends of their faith and look to the future with hope.

Magic, mischief, and mouth-watering temptation collide in Humperdinck’s enchanting opera Hansel and Gretel — a tale that proves bravery can outsmart even the hungriest of witches.

When two curious children wander into the forest in search of adventure, they stumble upon a gingerbread house that’s not quite as sweet as it seems. Filled with soaring melodies, laughter, and a few deliciously dark twists, this production captures the wonder and peril of childhood imagination. Created in collaboration with local schools, Hansel and Gretel brings young voices and community spirit to the stage. A joyful celebration of music, storytelling, and the magic of working together.

Playful deception meets its match in Mozart’s sparkling comic opera Così fan tutte, reminding us that love is rarely as simple—or as certain—as we’d like to believe.

Two young officers make a reckless wager. Can their fiancées remain faithful when temptation comes knocking? With a mischievous plot hatched by a worldly friend, disguises, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements spiral into a deliciously absurd tangle.

Set to some of Mozart’s most radiant and intricate music and sung in English to a translation by Amanda Holden, Così fan tutte blends razor-sharp wit with moments of truth and reflection in this vibrant production that proves Mozart knew the human heart all too well.

A potpourri of popular arias that make you laugh, songs that make you cry and rollicking choruses that make you want to join in. Familiar favourites from operas by Puccini, Verdi, Mozart, Johann Strauss, Gilbert and Sullivan and more, with the odd (and very Merry) surprise thrown in.
