My Fair Lady is at the Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House, from 10 September to 31 October 2026. Sydney Opera House lists the production as musical theatre, presented by John Frost for Crossroads Live and Opera Australia. For a visitor choosing a performance, the date is the first thing to hold onto: this is a defined 2026 season, not an evergreen invitation.

What is on stage

The official listing describes the production as a recreation based on the 2016 Australian production directed by Julie Andrews. It stars Nathaniel Parker as Professor Henry Higgins and Claire Lyon as Eliza Doolittle, with Reg Livermore, Robyn Nevin, Tony Llewellyn-Jones, Freddy Hellier and Anne Wood in the listed cast. The work is Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady, a musical built around Eliza’s transformation and songs including ‘Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?’, ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ and ‘Get Me to the Church on Time’.

Choose a performance carefully

Sydney Opera House lists a running time of 180 minutes including one interval, subject to change. Performances run at a mix of matinee and evening times across the season, so use the official dates-and-times table before booking rather than relying on a general schedule. The venue also says young people under 15 must be accompanied at all times. Ticket prices and availability are subject to change; use Sydney Opera House or Opera Australia as the authorised booking sources.

Access and arrival

The event page identifies the Joan Sutherland Theatre at Bennelong Point. For patrons requiring wheelchair, companion or accessible seating, the Opera House directs bookings to its box office. An audio-described performance is listed for Sunday 11 October 2026 at 3pm; the official page gives separate booking contact details for that service. A captioned performance is listed as to be confirmed, so check the source before planning around captions.

Keep the season in view

This article records a live 2026 season and will need review after its final advertised performance on 31 October 2026. Until then, its practical value is in the exact dates, theatre, duration and official access details. Check the current listing before travelling or booking, especially if a particular cast member, ticket category or accessible performance is important.
