Opera – the ultimate performance in Sydney or Melbourne

Offer something special in your itineraries – a wondrous world of soul-stirring music and spectacular stagecraft unmatched by any other art form. It’s about more than performance - it’s the spectacle, it’s the setting, it’s providing something special in your client’s trip to Australia.

Opera Australia is about more than just opera. There is a performance to suit every taste, from traditional opera to light-hearted operettas, musicals and recitals.

Our Sydney seasons are January to March and June to November. Your customers will experience a world class performance in the world’s most famous opera house, with the world’s most beautiful harbour as a backdrop.

For those travelling in March and April there is the spectacular Opera on Sydney Harbour that cannot be missed.

What visit to Melbourne would be complete without a live-arts experience in the heart of the arts district, Melbourne Arts Centre? The opera season in Melbourne is April to May and November to December.

For those travellers who prefer something a little lighter, check our calendar for our summer Great Opera Hits series on Sunday afternoons, or an Opera Australia staged musical.

Where is the best place in the world to celebrate New Year’s Eve? Nowhere else than Sydney Harbour! Offer your customers the chance to see the New Year in with style – our New Year’s Eve Gala show or Gala opera, complete with access to one of the best viewing spots for the fireworks possible. Include sumptuous pre-theatre dining and/or our exclusive Midnight Party to make the evening complete.
