Welcome to Velvet. A nightclub where disco reigns supreme and the allure of the dancefloor is inescapable.
Velvet Inferno is a 70-minute, non-stop disco spectacular with boiling hot vocals and jaw-dropping circus acts. Directed by Craig Ilott (Gatsby at the Green Light, L'Hotel, Velvet Rewired), expect timeless dancefloor anthems, powerhouse performances and gravity-defying acts.
A dazzling new night of pure escapism is set to light up the Sydney Opera House this winter, as Velvet Inferno makes its highly anticipated premiere from 24 July to 13 September 2026.
Bursting with energy, glamour and feel-good vibes, this electrifying production blends cabaret, circus and a pumping disco soundtrack into one unforgettable night out. Bold, playful and irresistibly fun, Velvet Inferno is a sparkling celebration of music, movement and self-expression - a true love letter to the golden age of disco.
Fan favourites from the smash-hit shows Velvet and Velvet Rewired return alongside an exciting lineup of fresh new talent. Leading the charge is the incomparable Marcia Hines as The Diva, delivering powerhouse vocals that soar above the glittering disco beats.
Brendan Maclean reprises his standout role as Country Mike, bringing his signature charisma back to the stage. Joining the cast is rising star KYE as Gloria, whose journey of self-discovery adds heart and soul to the spectacle.
The thrills don't stop there. World-class circus performers deliver jaw-dropping moments throughout the show - from Craig "Hula Boy" Reid's mesmerising hula-hoop artistry to the breathtaking Australian debut of Ukrainian roller-skating duo Duo Stardust. Aerialists Oleg Tatarynov and Zoe Marshall complete the lineup with stunning high-flying acts that will leave audiences wide-eyed.
Set to a soundtrack of iconic hits including It's Raining Men, If You Could Read My Mind and No More Tears, the show reunites its acclaimed creative team - director Craig Ilott, musical director Joe Accaria and choreographer Amy Campbell - ensuring the magic of Velvet returns bigger and brighter than ever.
A global sensation, Velvet has captivated audiences across three continents, and Velvet Inferno continues that legacy with flair. It's bold, inclusive, and joyfully uninhibited - the kind of night where everyone is welcome and the dance floor is calling.
If you're chasing a night out that's vibrant, uplifting and just a little bit decadent, this is it. Step inside, let loose, and prepare to dance the night away.
Burn baby burn!
