The Merry Widow on New Year's Eve: Opera Australia Sydney

Over het evenement

Discover Lehár's inventive confection amid the champagne and glitter of Art Deco France in a fresh interpretation by director and choreographer Graeme Murphy at the Sydney Opera House.

Danielle de Niese plays the widow and heiress of a city's fortune who is supposed to be married off to one of the locals in order to secure the riches of society.

After the performance, watch the world‐famous fireworks seen around the globe. The interval is timed for the 9pm fireworks, and the Sydney Opera House stays open well past the midnight fireworks.

There is nowhere in the world like Sydney on New Year's Eve and there is nowhere closer to the action than Sydney Opera House. Make this your most glamorous and memorable New Year ever.
