You’re invited to the party of the summer

The party of the summer returns following a sell out season, don't miss your chance to be on the guest list at the hottest club in town.

Step into a dazzling world where the glitz of the 1920s collides with the energy of the 2020s, in a bold reimagining of Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby. This summer at the Sydney Opera House, prepare for a thrilling night of cabaret, variety, and live music that will leave you buzzing.

Welcome to The Green Light – the city’s most sought-after nightspot, owned by the enigmatic Gatsby himself. It’s an electrifying establishment radiating extravagance, vitality and abandon, built in the pursuit of love.

Sip on a cocktail with a twist as you’re swept into a world of high-flying aerial feats, soaring vocals, hypnotic choreography, and glittering costumes. Classic vaudeville is reborn for the ultimate summer soirée.

GATSBY stands as an innovative creation by the same masterminds behind the acclaimed L'Hôtel.  After a previous sold out season at the Opera House, don't miss your chance to be on the guest list when Gatsby’s glittering world opens its doors once more.

There are two ways to experience this party. Choose a VIP cabaret table and enjoy a 1920s-inspired canapé platter and cocktail served by Gatsby’s inimitable waitstaff, with table-side drink service throughout – an up-close invitation to mix and mingle with the club’s most intriguing characters.

Or opt for floor or mezzanine seating, where you can sit back and take in the full spectacle. These tickets don’t include food or beverages, but you’re welcome to bring in drinks purchased from the venue bars.

No matter how you choose to experience it, dress to dazzle your host as Gatsby returns to reclaim the night. Step into The Green Light this summer, where the champagne flows and whispers of the past still dance in the air.
