New Year’s Eve
Kick off 2025 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 Massenet's Cinderella (Cendrillon), in the splendour of the Joan Sutherland Theatre.
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.
Massenet
Cinderella (Cendrillon) on New Year's Eve
Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House
Feel all the magic of the fairy tale with enchanting music, playful choreography and extravagant costumes in this whimsical production of the classic opera. Don’t miss the ball – and don’t miss a magical countdown to midnight you’ll remember forever!
