RENT the Musical
RENT the Musical
RENT the Musical is coming to the Sydney Opera House for a strictly limited season from 27 September to 1 November 2025—and it’s set to bring the raw emotion, unforgettable music, and gritty spirit of New York City’s East Village to life on stage. Winner of multiple Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this groundbreaking musical by Jonathan Larson is a modern classic that changed the face of musical theatre. Set in the midst of a community of struggling artists, RENT explores themes of love, loss, identity, and resilience with unflinching honesty and passion.
Inspired by Puccini’s La Bohème, the story follows a tight-knit group of young creatives as they confront poverty, illness, and personal conflict while holding onto their dreams and chosen family. With soaring vocals, a rock-inspired score, and powerful storytelling, the show pulses with raw energy and emotional depth. Audiences will be swept up by iconic anthems like Seasons of Love, Take Me or Leave Me, La Vie Bohème, and One Song Glory—songs that have become defining moments in musical history.
This immersive production will be staged in the world-renowned Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House, with a choice of seating options to suit every guest. The show is presented in English and is suitable for mature audiences due to its themes and content. Whether you’ve loved RENT since its original Broadway run or are discovering it for the first time, this new staging brings urgency and heart to a story that remains as relevant today as ever.
Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the most influential musicals of all time in one of the world’s most iconic venues. Book your tickets now for RENT at the Sydney Opera House, and witness a celebration of life, love, and community that continues to inspire generations.
