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 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.
