Dress up to the nines, kick up your heels and prepare for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve at the Sydney Opera House.
Experience an unforgettable countdown to midnight under the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House, with a performance of the eternally popular Madama Butterfly.
Cio-Cio-San is a woman who dreams of a bigger life. Pinkerton is a man who sees only a butterfly, something he can capture and keep. His callous pursuit ripples into sweeping tragedy.
This award-winning production is timeless. Tiny candles glimmer among floating flowers in a real onstage moat. Sliding paper panels reveal and conceal the secrets everyone is keeping. Sumptuous, colourful costumes are inspired by Japanese traditional dress.
Complete your glamorous night out with a three-course, pre-show dinner overlooking the spectacular harbour or tickets to one of Sydney’s most fabulous midnight parties.
