New Year’s Eve
Kick off 2026 in operatic style with one of two spectacular performances at the Sydney Opera House.
No other city celebrates New Year’s Eve like Sydney and there’s no better place to join in the celebrations than at the Sydney Opera House with Opera Australia.
Choose between The Opera Gala in the Concert Hall, featuring opera's most beautiful music, or a staged opera performance, in the splendour of the Joan Sutherland Theatre.
Tickets and packages will go on sale later in the year, join the waitlist to get pre-sale access before the general public.
New Year's Eve Opera Gala
Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House
A wild operatic celebration with a distinctively Australian flavour. Sydney’s world-famous New Year’s Eve fireworks are the cherry on top.
A must-see if you love big voices, big laughs and fireworks – both dramatic and literal.
Staged opera performance on New Year's Eve
Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House
In previous years we have staged productions of Cinderella (Cendrillon), La Traviata, and La Bohème on New Year’s Eve. Sign up to the waitlist to be the first to find out what will be performed in 2025.
