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).'

1 Cassandra Constantine Costi , Simon Bruckard (composer), 2021 single work musical theatre opera

'The gift of prophecy becomes a curse when no one believes you. Cassandra foresees that the Trojan horse will lead to the downfall of her people, but her warnings go unheeded. The gods show mortals who’s boss.'

1 The Overcoat Michael Costi , Rosemarie Costi , Constantine Costi , 2018 single work musical theatre

'Created by siblings Rosemarie, Constantine, and Michael Costi, this new musical is the tale of an office worker’s tragic quest for warmth and connection in frantic city streets that pulse to the rhythm of a Russian jazz trio.

'Nikolai is a clerk in St Petersburg and a social outsider – perpetually uncomfortable in his skin. Following an embarrassing exchange with a colleague, he decides to sell everything he owns in order to buy a brand new overcoat in a desperate effort to change his life forever.' (Production summary)
1 Visiting Hours John Harrison , Constantine Costi , Michael Costi , 2016 single work drama

'An old-school Sanatorium. A revolutionary new pharmaceutical. And a quest for eternal life. 

'The surprise sold-out hit of Vivid 2016 returns, updated and extended in a New and Improved Formula! Visiting Hours is a mind-bending immersive experience that sees the Kings Cross Hotel re-imagined as an off the grid medical facility run by an enigmatic and dangerously obsessed doctor. The Doctor is back, and he has the cure for all ills.'
