The King and I – Photo Feature

Opera Australia and John Frost’s The King and I opens at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre, Brisbane tomorrow night starring Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Lisa McCune.

The production, directed by Christopher Renshaw with stunning costume and set designs by Roger Kirk and Brian Thomson respectively, is a lavish and opulent revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical.

At a media call this week photographer Oliver Toth from Accent Photography captured the magic of the production for this special AussieTheatre photo feature.
