"It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.

If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"
 

- THE RED QUEEN
In 2006, a tuneful and fun new opera was commissioned by Opera Holland Park in London, and has since had hundreds of sold out performances.  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has also been performed at the Linbury Studio Royal Opera - Covent Garden, and recently, was a smash-hit for Welsh National Opera.

ACOCo is set to present the live Australian premiere with an internationally renowned cast, supported by elite young Australian artists.

The classic tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland comes to life in this quirky and delightful family opera.

Will Todd’s film-like score, performed by a small orchestra, is an eclectic mix of jazz, musical and opera - perfectly accompanying the witty libretto to create a fun and engaging story that remains true to the original book.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Todd, Sun 13 Mar 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Linda Thompson,, Conductor Matthew Toogood, Cruden Farm, Langwarrin, Australia
