Award-winning director Dean Bryant’s smash hit staging of Candide will make its Sydney premiere after opening with Victorian Opera in 2024, with a stellar cast led by musical theatre luminary Eddie Perfect and Hamilton star Lyndon Watts.

Bernstein’s remarkable score steers a brilliant satire about humankind’s capacity for mindless optimism. It includes the orchestral favourite overture, soprano showpiece ‘Glitter and Be Gay’ sung by Cunegonde, played by Annie Aitkin, and touching choral ‘Make Our Garden Grow’ finale.
