★★★★ “An absolute joy” – Herald Sun
The Magic Pudding is back and tastier than ever!
Victorian Opera is bringing its adored adaptation of Norman Lindsay’s classic The Magic Pudding to the stage in 2026 for an unmissable return season.
Filled with a measure of musical magic, deliciously playful costumes and a hearty helping of theatrical magic, this dinky-di delight brings Lindsay’s larrikin spirit to joyous life.
This Australian classic has inspired laughter for generations with its much-loved characters Albert the Pudding, Bunyip Bluegum, Bill Barnacle, Sam Sawnoff as well as those mischievous Puddin’-thieves.
Perfect for pudding-lovers of all ages!
Relaxed performance details
A relaxed performance provides a calm environment to enjoy the performance, with elements of the production adapted to reduce anxiety or stress. Lighting and sound levels are adjusted to soften their impact; noise and movement in the auditorium is welcome during the performance; and there will be designated ‘chill-out’ areas.
This environment is ideal for audience members with Autism, Down Syndrome and those sensitive to sensory variance.
