Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes with a 40-minute interval for the 9pm fireworks.
Other info
While the foyer offers a good view of the fireworks, space outside on the balcony will be limited.
If you don’t have tickets to the Midnight Party, there are a limited number of outdoor viewing areas you’ll be able to access following the performance. Please note that these spaces are limited and cannot be guaranteed.
Some fireworks can be viewed from the Southern Foyers inside Sydney Opera House at midnight, but you may not have a view of Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Dress up to the nines, kick up your heels and leave the crowds behind as you stroll towards the iconic sails.
Enjoy a few drinks overlooking the magnificent Sydney Harbour before you take your seats for our new New Year’s Eve gala.
The Opera Gala is a wild journey through the world of opera with a distinctively Australian flavour. Expect plenty of laughs and surprises as we bring a new lens to beloved opera classics.
Watch the 9pm fireworks sparkle during the interval, and after the show, make your evening even more special with tickets to our exclusive Midnight Party. Held in the Northern Foyers of the Opera House, this event includes drinks, canapés and entertainment — and of course, a great vantage point for Sydney’s famous NYE fireworks.
There’s nowhere in the world like Sydney on New Year’s Eve, and there’s nowhere closer to the action than the Sydney Opera House.
So go on, make this your most glamorous New Year ever.
