Hotel Pro Forma OPERATION:ORFEO

Ian Potter State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne

First performed in Melbourne, in 1997 as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival, this landmark production celebrates 30 years since that season with a return to the Ian Potter State Theatre. OPERATION:ORFEO reimagines opera through a striking fusion of music, visual art and performance. With 2026 Director Marie Dahl maintaining the concept and direction of Kirsten Dehlholm (1945-2024), it is one of the most internationally celebrated works in Danish theatre history by renowned company Hotel Pro Forma. Inspired by the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, and featuring members of the Latvian Radio Choir, the work replaces conventional narrative with a sequence of powerful images, light, and symphonic voice, arranged like a piece of moving visual art rather than a staged narrative.
