Home to the most beautiful shows on earth.
To step on stage in the spectacular Opera Theatre is to take your place on a platform that has seen some of the world’s most exquisite performances. Set beneath the smaller of Sydney Opera House’s two graceful sails, this proscenium arch lyric theatre is the building’s second largest interior venue. Originally intended for symphony, it has become a key performance space for Opera Australia and The Australia Ballet – a place of impressive proportions yet equally where you can hear a pin drop between arias, the squeak of shoes in a pas de deux.
The traditional theatre seating is made of white birch timber with red woollen upholstery, and the stage boasts an impressive and extensive fly system and flexible staging, creating a state-of-the-art experience for performers, crews and audiences alike. Up to 70 musicians can be accommodated in the orchestra pit, which supports both intimate vocals and large-scale musical renditions.
Booked out for much of the year for opera, ballet and contemporary dance performances, the Opera Theatre is exclusive but never elitist, drawing a broad spectrum of audiences who down the years have risen to thousands of standing ovations. Little wonder, then, that when the greatest performers take centre stage, the Opera Theatre is so often where they want to be.For more information please contact Presenter Services:Venue hiring enquiries: +61 2 9250 7393Fax: +61 2 9250 7816Email: venues@sydneyoperahouse.com
