Curious about whether if Sunset Boulevard is the right musical to attend a performance of should you be near the Sydney Opera House over the next couple of months? Opera Australia and GWB Entertainment have shared the new above preview video of Sarah Brightman in the role of Norma Desmond, performing a section of As If We Never Say Goodbye”.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard will be performing at the Sydney Opera House until 1 November 2024 for a limited season. The role of Norma Desmond will be portrayed by Sarah Brightman on Wednesday through Sunday evenings, and Saturday matinees. For those interested in the Tuesday evening or Wednesday matinee performances, the role will instead be covered by Silvie Paladino. Of course, there is always the caveat that “the appearance of any artist cannot be guaranteed as it is always subject to illness and leave arrangements”.
Additional cast members joining Brightman and Paladino on-stage include Tim Draxl as Joe Gillis, Robert Grubb as Max Von Mayerling and Ashleigh Rubenach as Betty Schaefer.
