The Opera Locos is a spectacular love story filled with colourful characters: Alfredo, a worn-out tenor with a glorious past; Enrique, the baritone precise in his macho swagger; Franelli, a quirky, pop-loving counter-tenor; Maria, a dreamy and naive soprano; and Carmen, a wild mezzo soprano.

Five exceptional singers bring their own signature style of physical comedy to this Max-Award winning (Best Musical) theatrical show that has been enjoyed around the globe. Featuring music from: Mozart, Mika, Puccini, a-ha, Rossini, Frank Sinatra, Bizet, Whitney Houston, Verdi and more – this is a totally unique and utterly hilarious show for everyone!
