Valentine’s Day
The perfect gift
Imagine surprising someone you love (or someone you’re hoping will fall in love with you) with tickets to the opera.
You’ve planned something special. You dress to impress. You meet your date and feel their anticipation.
As you settle into your seats, get swept up in a torrid romance or heart-rending tragedy. Bask in the beauty and artistry on stage.
At interval, grab a glass of something sparkling and enjoy the stunning view over Sydney Harbour.
It’s a date that you’ll always remember. It's the perfect Valentine's Day gift.

Have the classic Sydney Opera House experience
Climb the monumental steps and look up at the shimmering sails. Raise a glass as you overlook the magnificent harbour. Then settle in for the world’s most-performed opera, La Traviata. This is the opera that features in Pretty Woman, so you and your guest can live your Julia Roberts fantasy here in Sydney.
