Opera Australia’s acclaimed production of South Pacific, starring Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Lisa McCune is set to be filmed for DVD release.
Cameras were assembled in the Opera Theatre this afternoon to immortalise a live performance of the production. Alex Budd, General Manager of Opera Enterprises announced to the matinee crowd that “We are making history here today”.
“This production has been seen on Broadway, it’s been seen on the West End in London and today is the very first time that the Rodgers and Hammerstein organisation, supported by Oscar Hammerstein’s grandson… have allowed this production to be filmed for DVD release”, he announced in his pre-show speech at the Sydney Opera House.
“We at Opera Australia, and the cast behind me, are deeply humbled by this honour. Thank you for being here on this special day and helping us make history.
No details about when the recording will be available have been released at this stage.
South Pacific opens in Melbourne at the Princess Theatre on 15 September, with previews from 13 September.

Posted: 9/6/12 at 10:29amI will definitely be buying this! I saw the tour earlier this year and loved it. On a side note about the nudity, I work at a venue where the tour played, and people threw a fit about the nudity. It was two backsides, but these folks made it sound like it was the end of the world.

bwayphreak234 do you work in a southern/republican/'christian' state? I mean I don't know much about the USA, I'm just curious, because it seems ridiculous for people to complain about that.
When my goodbye post was removed: “but I had a great dramatic finish!!!!”
