The beloved Australian film to be screened at the Sydney Opera House with Southern Cross Symphony playing the iconic score live
Special guest appearances by Sigrid Thornton and Tom Burlinson
Thursday February 15 & Friday February 16 – Sydney Opera House
Following four sold out Hamer Hall performances in Melbourne The Man from Snowy River, one of Australia’s most loved and iconic films of all time, is coming to the Sydney Opera House for a special screening and concert event on Thursday 15 February and Friday 16 February 2024. Tickets for this unique event on sale now.
Stars of the film, Sigrid Thornton and Tom Burlinson, will appear on stage together, sharing behind-the-scenes insights, personal experiences, and discussing the lasting impact of this treasured Australian classic. And for the first time since its release in 1982, audiences will experience the powerful score of The Man from Snowy River played live by the Southern Cross Symphony alongside the stunning visuals of this most cherished film.
The Man From Snowy River In Concert is a celebration of the enduring legacy of Director George Miller’s iconic Australian film, whilst the live-to-screen performance will showcase the film’s APRA and AFI award-winning score by legendary composer Bruce Rowland.
Based on AB ‘Banjo’ Paterson’s bush poem of the same name, the story follows proud young Jim Craig (Tom Burlinson) who, after the death of his father, sets out to become his own man. Taking a job with horse rancher Harrison (Kirk Douglas), Craig is treated poorly by the more experienced cowboys, but wins the heart of the rancher’s daughter, Jessica (Sigrid Thornton), when he helps her break a high-strung colt and later saves her life. When he’s unfairly blamed for the loss of an expensive horse, Craig fights to restore his honour and prove that he’s worthy of Jessica’s hand.
