More About This Trip and Opera Upgrades

In Sydney you’ll experience the Sydney Opera House the way it is meant to be experienced; by seeing a live musical opera.  The 2016 season saw shows like La bohème, The Barber of Seville, Carmen, Cosi Fan Tutte, The Love For Three Oranges, Turandot and more! 2017 promises to be just as epic. 

As our special guest, you’ll enjoy a tour of the Opera House as well as a backstage tour of the Opera Centre’s vast production workshops and rehearsal studios to see firsthand how the opera is made.  You’ll cruise Sydney Harbour like a local on a luxury yacht and have a free day to choose what you want to do in Australia’s sun-drenched iconic city.  Next, you’ll fly up to Cairns where you’ll enjoy a dinner cruise on a luxury sailing catamaran and take a cruise out to the Great Barrier Reef to go snorkeling.  You’ll have two free days to explore the city or visit the oldest rainforest in the world.

Fireworks at Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour — Aida 2015

Fireworks at Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour — Aida 2015

If you travel late March through April, you will experience Handa Opera on Sydney Harbor. It is a spectacular event.  For four weeks, an astonishing purpose-built outdoor venue is created in the Royal Botanic Gardens on Sydney Harbour.  It combines all the things Sydney does best: world-class opera, fine dining, champagne, sunsets and fireworks with 3,000 seats right on the water’s edge. Exact show and dates TBD.

Upgrade your trip with a special Opera Performance on New Year’s Eve.

New Year’s Eve is the night when Sydney puts on the bling, kicks up its heels and shows the world what a gorgeous thing it is, as a festival of fire explodes across the midnight sky.  Ringside seats to the greatest show on earth are hard to come by, but with a ticket to the opera, you’re invited! Leave the crowds behind as you enter the Sydney Opera House. Choose to settle back for an evening with Rodolfo, Mimi, Marcello and Musetta in Puccini’s La Bohème or be entertained at the Opera Gala, featuring favorites by Verdi, Puccini, Rossini and more.
