Food of the House
Food and drink have been part of the Opera House story even in Jørn Utzon's early concepts. In this free exhibition we take a look back into our archives to see how the places, palettes and prices have evolved over the past five decades.

For the month of August, each chef will have a dish from their Chefs of the House menu available at their respective Sydney Opera House venues. So if you can’t attend a dinner, just want a taster or want to keep going back for more, join us for a taste of the menu.
