Sydney Opera House - The Opera - B-Reserve

Here’s a brand-new concept for outdoor opera, combining opera and technology in honour of that great architectural feat, the Sydney Opera House.

Each night, 3000 people will gather outside the Sydney Opera House and gaze up at the 100-metre wide steps, turned into an opera stage for the first time ever.

Sydney Opera House – The Opera has fourteen scenes, set everywhere from Mexico to Denmark to the Royal Yacht to a Sydney backyard BBQ. Based on the true story, rarely has an opera plot had so many twists and turns, charting the dramatic story of the creation of the world’s most famous building and the coming of age of Australia.

Platforms will glide across the steps, delivering the fast-paced action. Giant screens will unfurl to display historic photos, surprising those too young to remember when Bennelong Point was a tram depot and building site. Giant glowing balls of paper, projections and lighting effects will complete the son et lumiore spectacle.

The site will open at 6pm, with food and beverage options available.

Sydney Opera House The Opera is an open-air and all-weather event

The venue, audience seating, and the stage are completely uncovered. The event is an all-weather experience and Opera Australia is committed to going ahead with a performance of Sydney Opera House The Opera even in doubtful or unfavourable weather conditions. We want everyone to have a wonderful night and we understand that the experience can be affected by rain. Please come prepared so that you are as comfortable as possible, and ready to support the performers, who will carry on singing in the rain.
