HEROISM, BRAVERY AND CHART-TOPPING HITS

Do We Need Another Hero? is a joyful celebration of songs about bravery and heroism. From pop to opera, country to classical, this live musical tribute features chart-topping anthems and unique mashups that will have you dancing in your seat.

Timeless hits by The Beatles, David Bowie, John Farnham, Bonnie Tyler and Barnsie, are seamlessly intertwined with opera classics like the Barber of Seville, Tosca and The Ring Cycle. Plus music from composers like Beethoven and Bizet, provide the perfect soundtrack for our story as we search for what it means to be a hero.

“It’s fun, it’s camp and it gives people space to question their own reality or perception…”

From the creative team behind Are You Lonesome Tonight and Lady Sings The Maroons, Opera Queensland return with this epic, feel-good performance of heroism and bravery that will have you singing all the way home.
