Join Lyster Opera for a special return season by popular demand of The Merry Wives of Windsor at Courthouse Theatre.

After a triumphant 2025 tour that played to standing ovations across the state, this delightful and rarely performed masterpiece returns for one performance only —a unique opportunity to experience a work that is all too seldom heard on Australian stages.

Full of warmth, wit, and irresistible melody, The Merry Wives of Windsor showcases Lyster Opera at its most vibrant—sparkling ensemble work, lively storytelling, and a genuine affection for this charming score.

We'll Take it From Here | FRI 26 JUN 7:30PM

Fresh from appearing as Donna, Tanya and Rosie in Mamma Mia! last year, Ruth McGurk, Cara Oliver and Shayne Lowe are taking to the stage again as a trio. With babysitters organised, a willing accomplice accompanist on board and a bottle of champagne at the ready, they’ve curated a night of sensational songs and top-notch banter.

Featuring music from Sara Bareilles, Kander and Ebb, Stephen Sondheim (and maybe even some ABBA if you’re very lucky) ... good times start with great friends!

P.S. All done and dusted by 8:30pm, so you can hit the town* by 9pm.
