Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour stages a full opera on a floating platform in front of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, at Fleet Steps in the Royal Botanic Gardens — a genuinely unique outdoor opera setting found nowhere else in the world.
What to Expect
- A full-scale opera production staged on the harbour, typically over several weeks in autumn
- Tiered outdoor seating at Fleet Steps, Mrs Macquaries Point, in the Royal Botanic Gardens
- Dress warmly — evenings on the harbour cool down quickly even in early autumn
- Opera Australia opens a waitlist for each season’s announcement and early ticket access
Because each season’s specific dates and opera title are announced separately, join Opera Australia’s waitlist if you want the earliest access to tickets once the season is confirmed.
Location
Fleet Steps, Mrs Macquaries Point, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney NSW 2000.
