Victorian Opera is bringing its adored adaptation of Norman Lindsay’s classic The Magic Pudding back to the stage for an unmissable return season.

Performances will be presented across metropolitan Melbourne at The Round, Darebin Arts Centre and Bunjil Place as well as available to livestream on-demand in late May.

Lindsay’s classic Australian children’s book has enchanted generations with its much-loved cast of characters: Albert the Pudding – a magical yet cantankerous pudding that can change flavours and never runs out, the adventurous koala Bunyip Bluegum, gruff sailor Bill Barnacle, steadfast emperor penguin Sam Sawnoff, and the mischievous pudding thieves Patrick the Possum and Watkin Wombat.

Victorian Opera’s production adds a measure of musical magic, deliciously playful costumes and a hearty helping of theatrical charm to help bring Lindsay’s larrikinism to life on stage. Composed by Calvin Bowman and written by Anna Goldsworthy, The Magic Pudding: The Opera is a dinky-di delight. The opera originally premiered in 2013 and is now returns for a third season.

The production runs for 60-minutes and is perfect for pudding-lovers of all ages.
