madame chandelier’s grand theft opera

Madame Chandelier is delighted to be working on a new family show, which will debut at the Edinburgh Fringe this Aug.

When Madame Chandelier’s daughter gets sucked into her video game and is kidnapped by the evil Queen of the Night, there’s only one thing to do – gather opera’s fiercest characters for an epic battle. Will Carmen, Tosca, and Madame Butterfly help defeat the ultimate boss, or will all arias lead to death? Nominated for Best Family Show and Emerging Artist at Brighton Fringe 2026.
