Opera Queensland – Do We Need Another Hero?
Events Caloundra, Sunshine Coast, Queensland
7 Jun 2024 Once Only Event
From the creative team behind Are You Lonesome Tonight and Lady Sings the Maroons, Opera Queensland embark on another epic adventure across regional Queensland with a new production Do We Need Another Hero?
This live musical tribute stars some of Queensland’s best talent, taking us on a journey through the history of heroism. From Hercules to Hamlet; Wonder Woman to the working-class man (and woman) this show balances joyful observation and thoughtful discourse, asking audiences the question: in a world connected yet divided, Who’s Gonna Save Us?
Chart-topping anthems about bravery and heroism from artists like The Beatles, Bowie and Bizet soundtrack our story as we search for what it means to be a hero. Within the archives of great music, we uncover profound truths, unravelling answers one note, one rhythm, one song at a time and discover that true heroes are not confined to comic books; they can be found in the lyrics and melodies that inspire us.
