• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  THE ENCHANTED PIG is about LOVE – a modern, joyful story for all ages.  Loud and clear, you hear love is a wonder, love is strange, and love is a drug. It can make you happy, a hero – and a fool. 

  For a Princess who finds herself truly in love with a Pig (who is actually a King under a spell), it turns out that love, amongst other things, is a journey of trust, patience and perseverance. Love’s story unfolds with the help of the Northwind, the Moon and the Milky Way, in a splendid staging by Gale Edwards and Australian Contemporary Opera Co.

  A “dazzling treasure of rolling tunes and spicy lyrics”, The Enchanted Pig has appeal across generations.

  Premiering in London in 2006, The Enchanted Pig was set to run for 3 weeks – and was extended to 10 weeks, before a season on Broadway in New York.
