- **Event Name**: Serse by G.F. Händel
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 10:15 pm (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: Royal Drama. Romantic Chaos. Pure Comedy.

Blending moments of tragedy with razor-sharp comedy, Serse overturns the conventions of opera seria to deliver a delightfully unpredictable evening of romance, rivalry, and intrigue.

Follow the infatuated Persian King Xerxes (Serse) as his obsession with a plane tree gives way to a chaotic pursuit of a woman who loves his brother. Filled with mistaken intentions, shifting allegiances, and comic misunderstandings, Händel’s masterpiece culminates in one of opera’s most entertaining finales. The score also features one of classical music’s most beloved melodies, the celebrated aria “Ombra mai fu”.

Directed by Beng Oh, and starring Sally-Anne Russell in the title role, alongside a cast of some of Melbourne’s finest singers, this fresh production brings Händel’s irresistible comic opera to life. Not to be missed.
