“And what if none of their souls were saved? They went to their maker impeccably shaved.”
There once was a barber who had it all; a happy life, a beautiful wife – all ended by a savage act of betrayal. Meet Sweeney Todd, “the demon barber of Fleet Street”. Born out of the ashes of tragedy and set on revenge, he makes for a dapper and dangerous man to know. Together with the beguiling and batty Mrs Lovett, a twisted plan is hatched – genius and ghoulish in equal measure. But the best pies in London town may not last for long, as Sweeney’s thirst for vengeance leads them perilously close to the razor’s edge.
Considered one of the most powerful, dramatic, and theatrical horror tales ever set to music, this work will leave hearts racing and spines tingling long after the curtain has fallen. Starring Ben Mingay as Sweeney and Antoinette Halloran as Mrs Lovett.

Done.
Postponement: Due to the high level of uncertainty caused by the evolving nationwide COVID-19 situation, coupled with ongoing challenges around border restrictions, artist quarantine requirements and limitations on group singing, State Opera South Australia has come to the difficult decision to postpone the upcoming September seasons of Voss and Turn of the Screw until early 2022. A full statement and new dates are available on the State Opera website. Ticket holders will be contacted directly next week about the changes. stateopera.com.au/statement-regarding-september-seasons/

This is so sad!!! Onwards and upwards SA opera!! Get vaccinated people, so we can get back into the theatres. All the best to my wonderful colleagues and friends, I look forward to seeing you perform these works next year.
That's a jolly season cancelled! (Probably saved a few from slashing their wrists!)
Oh noooooo! Really looking forward to Turn of the Screw. That sucks. But understand. Look forward to 2022!
Devastating, so sorry to hear.
