The Opera Locos played at Sadler’s Wells Theatre from 24–28 February 2026.
Future London dates have not yet been announced.

This international comedy sensation fused opera, pop and physical comedy into one unforgettable night of music and mayhem.

Five eccentric opera singers took to the stage for a performance that spiralled hilariously out of control. The greatest hits of opera collided with chart-topping classics from Whitney Houston to Elton John in a show that was as breathtakingly sung as it was brilliantly funny.

Winner of multiple awards across Europe, this Spanish hit production combined operatic virtuosity with clowning, chaos and charm — proving opera can be for everyone, whether you’re an aficionado or a total newcomer.

Wildly passionate, totally unique and utterly hilarious, The Opera Locos once again delighted London audiences in its 2026 season.

Note: The originally scheduled Peacock Theatre performances were cancelled due to essential building works. The production instead played on the same dates at Sadler’s Wells Theatre. Ticket holders were contacted by their point of purchase.

A spectacular love story unfolds on stage with five larger-than-life characters:
Alfredo, a worn-out tenor with a glorious past;
Enrique, a baritone full of bravado;
Franelli, a quirky, pop-loving counter-tenor;
Maria, a dreamy and naive soprano; and
Carmen, a wild and passionate mezzo-soprano.

As their personal rivalries and romantic entanglements play out through the world’s most famous arias and pop hits, chaos ensues — all delivered with world-class vocals and impeccable comic timing.

This is opera like you’ve never seen it before: bold, colourful, and side-splittingly funny.
