Everything is f*cked, so take your spot on the lifeboat of reason

Abyssal political divides, global conflict, a worm in the White House, the desperate need to have a laugh. 

Following a sold-out event at City Recital Hall, Hannah Ferguson returns with CHEEK LIVE: Everything is F*cked

Armed with analysis, opinions, a moral compass and a microphone, and joined by a very special guest host and the backing of a growing movement of supporters who wish to see good, do good, and care, Hannah Ferguson cuts through the noise to look at where we are, how we got here, what lies ahead, and the POWER we have to influence change. 

In the climate of 2025, you deserve a night of fun that re-affirms your hope for humanity.

Presented by Sydney Opera House and Fane

Carmen

7 Aug – 19 Sep 2025

Take an adrenaline-pumping ride through lust, jealousy and spectacle in this bold new production of an opera classic. When Carmen meets Don José, sparks fly. She won’t give up her freedom, and Don José won’t give up his girl. Their smouldering passion sets the stage for tragedy. This visceral opera is thrilling from the moment the curtain rises and the orchestra races away with the overture. It features the famous Toreador song, the Habanera and moving Flower song.

Duck Pond

9 – 12 Jan 2026

When Swan Lake meets The Ugly Duckling, feathers will fly. Circa, Australia’s trailblazing contemporary circus company, takes ballet’s most beloved classic and flips it on its head. With soaring aerials, a sequinned duck army, burlesque black swans and a cheeky twist on the fairytale you thought you knew, Duck Pond is a high-octane fusion of beauty, comedy and jaw-dropping skill. Quirky, beautiful and delightfully irreverent. This is Swan Lake, but not as you know it.
