Blanc de Blanc Encore Pops Its Cork in Melbourne This October

Melbourne, get ready to raise your glass. For the first time ever, the smash-hit sensation Blanc de Blanc Encore is bringing its champagne-fueled magic home, opening at the city’s dazzling new two-level entertainment hub, Spiegel Haus Melbourne, from 29 October 2025 to 1 February 2026.

This is no ordinary night out. Expect vintage French glamour, world-class circus acts, cheeky cabaret, live music, and edge-of-your-seat stunts — all shaken with a splash of comedy and a whole lot of fizz.

Created and produced by Melbourne’s own Strut & Fret, this season marks the company’s first hometown production in over eight years. Known for iconic cultural spaces like The Garden of Unearthly Delights in Adelaide and Sydney’s Grand Electric, Strut & Fret have taken their brand of bold, high-energy entertainment across the globe — including the hit London show Sabrage.

Now, with Blanc de Blanc Encore, they’re bringing the party back where it all began. The show transforms the intimate spiegeltent into a playground where the action happens everywhere — in front, above, and all around you.

The international cast is as spectacular as the show itself:

Felix Pouliot (Canada) — Cirque du Soleil artist and comedic MC, blending acrobatics with wit.
Melanie Hawkins (Australia) — fresh from Jesus Christ Superstar and The Rocky Horror Show, as well as Hugh Jackman’s Broadway to Oz tour.
Mykhailo Makarovoak (Ukraine) — a Ukraine’s Got Talent finalist and Olympic Games performer, known for his jaw-dropping hip hop and “bone breaking” style.
Danielle Summers (UK) — an acclaimed aerialist whose sensual solo acts have wowed audiences from London’s Roundhouse to The Box Soho.
