The Unruly Tourists
New Zealand Opera
In a tale from living memory, a flock of badly-behaved tourists spread a trail of rubbish, fuel a national obsession, make international headlines, and land themselves in local courtrooms.
This genre-defying comedy is written by the award-winning duo of Livi Reihana and Amanda Kennedy (The Fan Brigade), composed by Luke Di Somma and directed by Thomas de Mallet Burgess.
Presented by New Zealand Opera and Auckland Arts Festival in an immersive production at the Bruce Mason Centre, The Unruly Tourists takes you to Takapuna where it all started, and then smashes all the stereotypes you think you know about opera. A witty, irreverent, caustically observed work that will spark conversation and debate long after the curtain goes down.
Originally scheduled to premiere during our 2022 Festival, we’re now proud to present The Unruly Tourists for AAF 2023.
