About All About Women

All About Women is the Sydney Opera House’s festival of ideas about gender, justice, and equality, held annually in the week of International Women’s Day. Enormously successful and celebrated, it fills our venues with buzzy, inspiring, and agenda-setting conversations. 

Now in its 13th year, the festival brings international and Australian artists, thinkers and storytellers together to explore the big ideas important to women, gender diverse people and their allies.

The festival is programmed by the Sydney Opera House Talks & Ideas team led by Chip Rolley (he/him) alongside this year’s prodigious co-curators of individual sessions: Whadjuk Noongar journalist and 10 News First Presenter Narelda Jacobs OAM (she/her) and award-winning actor and writer for stage, screen and print Michelle Law (she/her). 

The full program of international and Australian artists, thinkers and storytellers for All About Women 2025 will be announced in January.
