It’s a lot of fun to put on your glamorous best for a night at the opera, but casual dress is perfectly acceptable.

We understand that you want to leave plenty of time to arrive at the Sydney Opera House on such a special night, however we suggest you don’t arrive before 4:30pm. The Southern Foyers will be open from 6pm, unless you have booked the pre-performance dinner.

For the best viewing of the midnight fireworks, book tickets to the exclusive Midnight Party, overlooking Sydney Harbour with fantastic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

If you’re unable to attend the Midnight Party, there are a limited number of viewing areas you'll be able to access following the performance. Please note that these spaces are limited and cannot be guaranteed.

All applause will be gratefully received, although it is polite to wait until the singing has stopped. Don’t be alarmed if the people around you start stomping their feet at the end of the performance: this is an opera tradition to show your enjoyment and appreciation. Feel free to join in!

Plan ahead and allow extra travel time when arriving for an event or performance. Large crowds are expected and significant road closures will be in place.

Visitors to the Opera House are strongly encouraged to use public transport wherever possible. Please note: 

• Trains will not stop at Circular Quay station from 5pm until midnight on New Year’s Eve. Use Wynyard, Martin Place or St James stations instead.

• Buses will be relocated from Circular Quay to Martin Place from 2pm on New Year’s Eve, and relocated to Hyde Park from 6pm as CBD roads close. 

• Ferries will not stop at Circular Quay from 5pm on New Year’s Eve.
