Cox & Box and Other Foolish Fancies

Let’s turn back the clock and throw a good old fashioned, all singing, some dancing, soirée at the Substation.

An evening of entertainment from three of Sydney’s finest opera singers. Adam Player (The Tales of Hoffmann), Jonathan Alley (Andrea Chénier) & Ruth Strutt (The Magic Flute), accompanied by the brilliant Donna Balson, promise there’s not a highbrow aria in sight. 

An evening of glorious silliness awaits, including Sullivan’s hilarious one act comic operetta “Cox & Box”, the story of a dodgy landlord who tricks his two tenants into renting the same flat until they discover that a room’s not the only thing they share! 

That’s only half the fun, and half the show! After the operetta’s done, the party will really get started with some of the most fabulous and funny songs from the likes of Noël Coward, Cole Porter, Lerner & Loewe, William Bolcolm and Stephen Sondheim! Let’s misbehave!
