What’s On
Our 2026-2027 season has landed & it's absolutely bursting with fun, fairytale, & fantasy, with three brand new, sumptuous productions of operatic favourites designed to entrance opera lovers young & young-at-heart!
Season: 24 & 25 July 2026
The Merry Widow - Franz Lehár
Dress in your finest black-tie and waltz the night away at The Tannery Christchurch this July with Toi Toi Opera's opulent, sparkling new production of Lehár's timeless operetta, The Merry Widow.
It's the ultimate 'will-they, won't-they' romance, wrapped up in a glittering world of Parisian parties, secret affairs, and laugh-out-loud comedy, and jam-packed with all those irresistible melodies you know and love. Plus, if you fancy being whisked off your feet by a special someone, you'll even have a chance to join in the dancing.
Bubbly, elegant, and just a little bit scandalous, this is a joyful and enchanting evening that's guaranteed to leave you humming!
Snap up your tickets, and stay tuned for full cast and creative details, to be announced here shortly.
Venue: The Atrium at The Tannery, 3 Garlands Road, Woolston, Christchurch.
