Sydney Opera House
This summer, experience all that Sydney Opera House has to offer! From contemporary theatre acts, to contemporary ballet, it's Sydney's Opera House like you've never experienced. Copland's Dance Episodes, presented by The Australian Ballet, is coming this November to the Joan Sutherland Theatre in an Australian premiere with an explosion of colour, fun and music. Choir of Man is running all Summer in the Studio. Featuring pop, rock, folk, Broadway and pub tunes, it's all about the feel good entertainment for everyone. And in the iconic Concert Hall venue, experience Christmas Carol Goes Wrong this December with a slapstick full of sharp wit and complete commitment to chaos of the Charles Dickens' classic. In the new year, bring the kids for Hook's Neverland - a spectacular world-premiere with exhilarating circus, aerials and magic, giving Captain James Hook the chance to tell his side of the Neverland story. There is nothing quite like it this summer!
