For the first time in almost 20 years State Opera South Australia presents Jonathan Dove’s

acclaimed modern opera Flight.


Inspired by the true story of an Iranian refugee who was forced to live at Charles de Gaulle

Airport for 18 years this contemporary opera unfolds in the setting of an airport terminal

during a storm. The story centres around a stateless refugee and explores the lives of ten

stranded passengers crew and airport workers who are forced to confront their situations

and each other while awaiting their fate. Through moments of humour tension and profound

connection Flight reveals the fragility and resilience of human spirit.


The production is led by Australian director Stephen Barlow who returns home to bring a

fresh perspective to this touching and thought-provoking story. British countertenor James

Laing Anna Voshege and Teddy Tahu Rhodes join the ensemble cast bringing Dove’s vivid

characters to life. Charlotte Corderoy will conduct the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra to bring

to life this stunning piece of music.


After its Australian premiere at the Adelaide Festival in 2006 Flight has been hailed as an

opera that soars above the ordinary and its return to Adelaide promises to be one of the most

anticipated events of the season.


With its unforgettable music dazzling sets and relatable characters Flight offers an operatic

experience like no other. Whether you’re an opera enthusiast or new to the genre this

production promises an exhilarating journey.


Flight has a three-show season in Adelaide from 8-10 May 2025 at Her Majesty’s Theatre

with tickets starting at $75 and a special offer of only $35 for those under 30. For more
