Opera Australia presents LPD Productions’ RENT.
The musical that rocked Broadway is back!
Experience Jonathan Larson’s electrifying, multi-Tony® Award winning musical, in this critically-acclaimed new production.
Step into the vibrant streets of New York City’s East Village, where dreams are born, friendships are tested, and the power of love prevails against all odds.
Featuring the iconic songs ‘Seasons of Love’, ‘Take Me or Leave Me’ and ‘La Vie Bohème’, this groundbreaking phenomenon, inspired by Puccini’s La Bohème, is more than a musical; it’s a celebration of life, love, and the human spirit.
Don’t miss your chance to discover the show that took Broadway by storm.
