Description His name is etched into national folklore. The outlaw
bushranger, his gang and that iconic suit of armour — who
was Ned Kelly? A celebrated anti-hero or simply a cold-blooded killer?
Victorian Opera breathes fresh life into a neglected work of Australian theatre with Reg Livermore’s Ned Kelly: The Musical. Originally produced in the late 1970s, the musical charts the life and times of Australia’s most notorious bandit.
The new production is presented exclusively at Her Majesty’s
Theatre, Ballarat, as part of Victorian Opera’s ongoing
commitment to the region.
