TOURISM & TRADE

Australia. It's not all about the outback and the ocean. Get your clients out of swimmers and into sequins for a night which we promise they will never forget. A night where the stars come out and the stories sweep you away. A night at the opera in Sydney or Melbourne.

Opera. A must-do experience for every visitor to Sydney

Offer something special for your client's next Sydney itinerary: a world-class opera performance at the world's most famous opera house, on the world's most beautiful harbour.

There is a unique thrill that surrounds a live opera performance in Sydney. It starts from the moment you glimpse the magnificent sails of the Sydney Opera House on your approach to the theatre and it's in the buzz of the foyer bars and the anticipation that builds as the orchestra tunes. And then the curtain rises and the opera begins...

Combine a performance with a pre-show dinner at one of the many fine restaurants nearby or perhaps a cocktail overlooking the magnificent harbour to create a truly memorable, and uniquely Sydney, experience.

A dedicated Opera Australia Groups and Tourism Representative will handle all your ticket enquiries and discuss special inbound rates, group booking opportunities and rates for travel agents.

City Lights and starry nights in the arts capital - Melbourne

Melbourne loves opera too, and Opera Australia presents two seasons at the Arts Centre each year. Spectacularly located on the banks of the Yarra, against a backdrop of city lights, Melbourne's buzzing arts precinct is the perfect setting for a glamorous night at the opera. And with its many bars, fine dining and the Crown Casino just a stroll away, there's no need to stop when the curtain goes down!
