Anna O'Byrne

Australian-grown international star soprano Anna O’Byrne brings her critically acclaimed one-woman show Becoming Eliza home to Melbourne for one performance only at the Comedy Theatre, on Saturday, 26 August 7.30pm.

What did our critic think of BECOMING ELIZA at His Majesty's Theatre? Anna O'Byrne has led quite the life, with a theatre resume that many could only dream of. Whilst her talent could easily speak for itself, she has taken time in creating BECOMING ELIZA to create a warm and inviting show that is more Anna O'Byrne than it is 'The girl who played Eliza.'

In this world premiere, Australia’s much-loved star soprano Anna O’Byrne shares her honest and personal story of stepping into one of the most iconic roles in musical theatre – Eliza Doolittle. In BECOMING ELIZA, Anna O’Byrne reflects on her unique experience and shares stories about working intimately with an internationally adored icon Dame Julie Andrews who created the role sixty years ago

Australian-grown international star and soprano Anna O'Byrne will reveal the story of working with Dame Julie Andrews and perform Andrews' iconic songs in the world premiere of Becoming Eliza, at the Sydney Opera House from 9 – 12 June 2022.
