No Day But Today: Rent Returns in a Powerful New Production

Feel the Pulse of New York in the Heart of Sydney

From 27 September to 1 November 2025, Rent roars back to the stage at the iconic Joan Sutherland Theatre, presented by Opera Australia. This isn’t just a night at the theatre—it’s a full-throttle journey through the soul of 90s East Village, New York, where art, ambition, and adversity collide.

The Musical That Changed Everything

Jonathan Larson’s Rent shook Broadway with its debut and hasn’t stopped moving audiences since. Inspired by Puccini’s La Bohème, the show blends rock music with raw emotion, capturing a generation’s struggle to survive and create in the face of poverty, illness, and gentrification. Its impact is undeniable—multiple Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and a fan base that spans the globe.

A Modern Revival That Sparks with Energy

This new production by Opera Australia brings fresh life to the original while honouring its spirit. With powerful performances, updated staging, and an electrifying live band, this version of Rent speaks to today’s world while keeping the grit, hope, and heart that made it a sensation.

Sing It Loud, Sing It Proud

For something truly unforgettable, don’t miss the Singalong Performance on Thursday 23 October at 7:30pm. On-screen lyrics will guide the audience through the most iconic numbers—from “Seasons of Love” to “La Vie Bohème.” Fans are encouraged to dress in bohemian style and immerse themselves in the East Village vibe for a night of music, community, and expression.

A Musical for the Soul, Not Just the Stage

With a run time of 155 minutes including an interval, Rent is suitable for adults aged 16 and over. Whether you're reliving the magic or experiencing it for the first time, this production is a celebration of connection, creativity, and courage in the face of challenge.
