There’s nowhere in the world like Sydney on New Year’s Eve, and there’s nowhere closer to the action than Sydney Opera House.

Dress up to the nines, kick up your heels and leave the crowds behind as you stroll towards the iconic sails.

Once upon a time, there was a dejected daughter, a spiteful stepmother, a pouty prince, and some selfish sisters. You know the fairy tale, now feel the magic of Laurent Pelly’s whimsical production of Cinderella. After packed-out runs at the Metropolitan Opera of New York and Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, this acclaimed staging of Cinderella makes a grand Australian debut on New Year’s Eve.

Massenet’s classic opera has long delighted audiences with its sumptuous music and big heart. This production adds a delightful dash of humour with playful choreography, extravagant costumes in outrageous shapes and sizes, and a pop-up storybook set.

Performed in English, this crowd-pleasing production is perfect for newcomers, but opera-lovers are in for a royal treat.

Don’t miss the ball – and don’t miss a magical countdown to midnight you’ll remember forever!
