Summer 2024
Passion and peril. Heroes and monsters. Lovers and liars. Opera is always larger than life. With the power of music, these emotion-packed stories explore the joys, frailties and yearnings which make us human.
We're excited to bring you a thrilling summer of opera experiences, curated by one of Australia's great opera and festival directors: Lindy Hume. This season has a big focus on Australian voices and creative talent. We've found them so you can hear them, see them and celebrate them. Whether they're dazzling divas, masterful maestros or amazing acrobats, we want you to see the best.
Dress up to the nines, kick up your heels and leave the crowds behind as you stroll towards the iconic sails and make it your most glamorous New Year ever.
