Seating
Please note that performances of Sweeney Todd are ticketed at a 75% theatre capacity, meaning you willΒ You will sit next to others, be they family, friends, or other opera goers. Masks are not required.
βAnd what if none of their souls were saved? They went to their maker impeccably shaved.β
There once was a barber who had it all; a happy life, a beautiful wife β all ended by a savage act of betrayal. Meet Sweeney Todd, βthe demon barber of Fleet Streetβ. 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 β genius and ghoulish in equal measure. But the best pies in London town may not last for long, as Sweeneyβs thirst for vengeance leads them perilously close to the razorβs 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.
