Spring School Holiday Shows and Activities
These school holidays the Sydney Opera House is on the lookout for a dragon, visited by a hip-hop cow and brings out your inner architect! Join us for daring adventures, inspirational tales as well as free creative workshops!
Off-stage and around the sails there is even more fun to discover. Plan the ultimate family day out with the Junior Aventure Tour and kid friendly food options.
Visiting Sydney Opera House
The Snow Dragon
The creators of The Gruffalo and The Snail and the Whale return with a festive forest filled with fantastical creatures. These captivating characters are sure to whisk your family away on a toe tapping musical journey you’ll never forget.
Bambert's Book of Lost Stories
Discover the profoundly inspiring story of Bambert – an impossibly small man with an enormous love for writing. Sending his stories into the world on tiny balloons, Bambert hopes that whoever finds them will return them with a stamp from the city they landed in. But will anyone return them?
Yo Diddle Diddle
What if your dream was only one jump away? The hilarious rhyme and rhythm of Tony Wilson’s The Cow Tripped Over The Moon has become a hip hop infused adventure!
Utzon's Universe
A series of free workshops for kids, exploring the design principles of architect Jørn Utzon. Bring out your inner architect as you make mini models and daring constructions with the whole family!
Creative Play
Build your miniature avatar and share your dream at The Dream Maker’s Kiosk. Designed by students of Lansvale Public School with artist Howard Matthew, this mobile art unit is dedicated to the ancient Dream Makers.
Some say that we will never see the likes of the old Dream Makers again, roaming from town to town with their tiny strange kiosks. You may, however, find them in unexpected places.
Create your own dream and offer it back to the kiosk or hold onto it as a keep sake.
