Sydney Festival at Sydney Opera House
Sydney Festival is a city-wide celebration of culture, creativity and the questioning mind. From the streets to the beach, in theatres, wharves and warehouses, it animates Sydney with a trailblazing program of theatre, music, dance, visual art and all the experimental in-between places of live performance.
As a dedicated commissioner of new Australian works, Sydney Festival showcases our nation’s diverse storytellers to the world, whilst drawing the world’s finest artists to Sydney.
