Opera Australia

Sydney Opera House is on the to-do list of every visitor to Australia but seeing it isn’t enough.

To experience the full benefit of this architectural wonder of the world, climb the steps, enter the building and experience an Opera Australia performance that’s unlike anywhere else in the world. Opera Australia has the ambition to bring an Australian stamp to telling great stories through song, and a commitment to develop and nurture new generations of Australian talent on and off the stage. Based in Sydney on Gadigal aboriginal land they present over 600 annual performances to more than half a million people each year.

They also perform several special events each year, including the immensely popular outdoor event Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour in March/April and the New Year's Eve performance that includes breaks to see the famous fireworks on Sydney Harbour at 9pm and then midnight.
