Propose on stage

Marriage proposal on stage

A not-so-modest proposal: pop the question at the opera.

Propose on stage at Opera Australia’s Great Opera Hits at the Sydney Opera House, and give the object of your affection the surprise of their lives.

It’s already so romantic: dressing up, heading to the theatre, basking in the emotion of all that glorious music.

But you’re a bit nervous. This isn’t just any date. You check your pocket for the hundredth time (the ring is still there).

Up on stage, under the lights, you get down on one knee…

Ride the romantic momentum of a night at the opera with a proposal that’ll truly knock their socks off.

Cost: $2499

Opera Australia: Diva For A Day

*Terms and conditions: Booking request must be made 6 weeks prior. Other terms and conditions will be provided during the booking process. Not available on public holidays & New Year's Eve.


Walk-On Role

Have your hair and makeup done when you hear your half-hour call. You'll be dressed in a costume fitted especially to you. Be on stage with the chorus at the Sydney Opera House — the world’s most famous building. The footlights glint in your eyes as you take your place in performance. Be surrounded by the sound of fifty people singing in perfect harmony, the power of the human voice ringing out over a crowd of 1500 people.

This is opera from the star’s perspective, and tonight, the experience is all yours.

A walk-on role with Opera Australia lets you explore so much more than the stage. You’ll visit the Opera Australia studio and a costume dresser will fit you with a handmade costume. The Assistant Director will take you through what happens on stage — when you need to be still, when you need to be a star. On the night of your performance, you’ll enter the Sydney Opera House house via stage door and report to hair and makeup to have your show make-up and wig applied. Then, you’ll mount the stairs to the stage to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience, while someone you love watches from the auditorium.
