For a strictly limited season, the musical considered by many to be Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s master work arrives in Wellington’s Opera House from Saturday 07 November. Evita, the iconic musical is set to dazzle with a spectacular new staging including over 40 top performers bringing the story of Eva Peron to life.

Evita charts the story of Eva Peron, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Peron, from her humble beginnings through to the extraordinary wealth, power and iconic status which ultimately led her to be heralded as the ‘spiritual leader of the nation’.

Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, EVITA creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself. Featuring some of the best loved songs in musical theatre, including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, You Must Love Me, and Another Suitcase in Another Hall.
