Opus is proud to present a fresh and energetic production of this much loved classic musical.
In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the
traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing
anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.
Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof has touched audiences around the world with
its humour, warmth and honesty. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class,
nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.
