Sydney Opera House New Year's Eve Opera Gala
Overview
2 hours 45 minutes
Mobile ticket
Dress up to the nines, kick up your heels and prepare for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve under the iconic sails.
Enjoy a decadent pre-performance dinner or a few drinks overlooking Sydney Harbour before you take your seats for the performance. The Opera Gala is a night of music and laughs designed to get you in the party spirit.
After the show, make your evening even more special with tickets to our exclusive Midnight Party. Held in the Northern Foyers of the Opera House, this event includes drinks, canapés and entertainment — and of course, a great vantage point for Sydney’s famous New Year’s Eve fireworks.
There’s nowhere in the world like Sydney on New Year’s Eve, and there’s nowhere closer to the action than the Sydney Opera House.
If you don’t have tickets to the Midnight Party, there are a limited number of outdoor viewing areas you’ll be able to access following the performance. Please note that these spaces are limited and can’t be guaranteed.

5.00It was brilliant and a memory that we will cherish. The whole event was so well organised from beginning to end. The music and the singers were spectacular and could not believe how quickly the evening went. Then to finish off with the tremedous firework display which we enjoyed from the top terrace.
