Online puzzle

The Disappearing Act: A Virtual Escape Room

When a friend is kidnapped during an Opera House magic show, it's up to you to work out what's going on. In this our second virtual escape room, the stakes are even higher as you're challenged to #EscapeTheHouse.

Art

The case for everyday creativity

Meditation teacher and academic Nadine Cameron writes on casting aside the “fear of the quality of output” and finding fulfilment in everyday acts of art and imagination.

Building

In it for the long Hall

The Opera House’s biggest venue has been closed for two years, yet behind its shuttered doors the beat goes on. The hum of thousands of excited concert-goers has been replaced with the buzz of thousands of workers, busy future-proofing the venue for decades to come.
