1 Siegfried and Roy : The Unauthorised Opera Constantine Costi , Luke Di Somma , Luke Di Somma (composer), 2025 single work musical theatre opera

'The neon lights of Las Vegas are calling. Join us in January for the wild rise and dramatic fall of magic’s dazzling duo, Siegfried and Roy. 

'Discover how two boys raised in war-torn Germany became the highest-paid magic act Vegas had seen. More than just business partners, Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn were inseparable: best friends, partners and muses. But the legendary showmen were hurtling towards tragedy – their beloved Mantacore was a tiger, after all. 

'Featuring larger-than-life characters, powerhouse vocals, live magic and playful humour, this epic new opera has plenty of tricks up its bedazzled sleeves.

'Siegfried & Roy: The Unauthorised Opera is brought to life by New York-trained composer and co-librettist Luke Di Somma (The Unruly Tourists) and maverick director and co-librettist Constantine Costi (Il Tabarro, Sydney Festival 2024), with costumes from Oscar-winning designer Tim Chappel (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert).'
