On 19 September 2018, "The Sydney Morning Herald" theatre reviewer, Joyce Morgan, gave a four-star review of Opera Australia's production "Evita" at the Sydney Opera House. The review, "Evita review: Don't cry for Tina Arena's timely Eva" states, "What you do get is a show with renewed currency about the rise and demise of one of Latin America's most intriguing and controversial figures, Eva Peron. You also get a woman at the height of her musical powers in the show-stopper scene as Tina Arena, in the title role, steps regally along the presidential balcony to deliver with melting clarity and conviction the anthemic "Don't Cry for Me Argentina". In this 40th-anniversary restaging of the original Harold Prince production, the misogyny, sexism and patronising disdain by the powerful forces arrayed against our heroine takes the breath away. Not least because some of the abuse seems as current as that excreted by social media trolls. Rice's lyrics still pack a punch".
