It was all lights, camera and action last night for @sunsetmusicalau’s Sydney premiere with Hollywood glamour outfits a must 🎥 We loved the beautiful ambience and setting provided by the stunning @sydneyoperahouse. This production by @gwbentertainment, @operaaustralia and director Paul Warwick Griffin of this 1950s Hollywood story was truly stunning and gave you all the thrills and beauty of being a famous Hollywood actor and a struggling writer and actor at the same time. The combination of this brilliant musical work by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a stunning cast and leads by Sarah Brightman and Tim Draxl, an exceptional stage of grandeur and Opera Australia’s outstanding Orchestra made it an incredible show! Sarah Brightman’s voice and glamorous performance was truly remarkable in her part as forgotten famous Hollywood actress Norman Desmond. 📷 @busycitykids and production images supplied.
