    Just in time for Christmas, Toi Toi Opera brings you an abridged version of renowned Ōtautahi composer Philip Norman’s operatic telling of the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, with an all-local cast and creative team.  

    Follow Scrooge as he is visited by a series of ghosts on Christmas Eve, who show him the bitterness of his ways, and the fate that will befall him should he not find redemption.

    A light-hearted fully-staged musical extravaganza, performed in the beautiful Great Hall – a shorter afternoon festive fun performance for the whole family, and an exclusive evening performance jam-packed with Christmas delights including some very special guests.

    For the evening performance premium seats are available closer to the action at our candlelit cabaret tables. Or choose the general admission theatre seating option. Bar available, card only.
