When Dead Man Walking first opened in the US it became an overnight sensation - the fastest selling opera production in recent history. At its Australian opera debut in Adelaide it met with standing ovations and sell-out crowds, winning it no less than four Helpmann Awards.

Now Dead Man Walking comes to Sydney in a brand new production led by the extraordinary Teddy Tahu Rhodes, whose portrayal of a death row inmate shot him to international stardom.

Drawing on opera, jazz, and negro spiritual it wrenches our emotions and intellect exploring the limits of human compassion in a compelling human way. It is both epic and deeply personal, telling an extraordinary 'love' story between a nun and a convicted rapist and murderer - the true story of Sister Helen, an unconventional nun, who accompanies Joe de Rocher to his death. It is a story that has moved people and played to packed houses ever since the opera made its sensational premiere in San Francisco in 2000.

Dead Man Walking will be a compelling and unforgettable night in the theatre, so don't miss out!
