Enchanting – South Pacific Photo Feature

Opera Australia’s production of South Pacific starring Lisa McCune and Teddy Tahu Rhodes began previews this week at the Opera Theatre, Sydney Opera House and we have a very special photo feature to share with you ahead of tomorrow’s official opening night.

The production will be playing at the Opera House for 4 weeks before it transfers to the Princess Theatre in Melbourne from 13 September. It has also been confirmed that Brisbane will host the production, although no dates or venues have been announced at this stage.

Thanks to Kurt Sneddon for capturing the essence of this production for AussieTheatre. To view more images from Kurt’s shoot, view the Blueprint Studios Facebook Gallery.
