Mazda Opera In the Domain

It’s a tradition. Every year, thousands of Sydneysiders head to the Domain with picnics packed and friends in tow. Hear Australia’s brightest stars, under the stars, sing opera’s most famous arias with the magnificent backing of the Opera Australia Orchestra.

Gates open at 4pm, plenty of time for you and your friends to grab a drink at the pop-up Mazda Garden Bar, and settle in with your picnic for a fabulous night. Our hosts ABC Classic FM presenter Christopher Lawrence and Rob Mills will keep you entertained throughout the afternoon.

This January, experience the midsummer night’s dream that brings opera to the people. Dress up—or not—it’s your night to enjoy the power of the human voice in the kind of communal, cultural celebration Sydney loves best.
