AIDA Opera on Sydney Harbour


"Imagine a balmy Sydney evening, the magnificent harbour as your backdrop, the city skyline sparkling and the sound of world-class opera filling the air. Welcome to AIDA on Sydney Harbour, an extraordinary outdoor experience that promises to take your breath away!


Verdi’s timeless masterpiece, Aida, comes to life in a spectacular production celebrating love, war and passion against the grandeur of Ancient Egypt. Featuring an incredible cast of 130 performers and musicians, a colossal 18-metre-high rotating bust of Nefertiti and spectacular fireworks lighting up the night sky, this is opera on a truly breathtaking scale.



But the magic doesn't stop at the performance! Sydney Harbour provides one of the most spectacular settings imaginable, creating an unforgettable evening where music, theatre and dazzling visual effects combine under the stars.


Make it a holiday to remember!

Take in the breathtaking views from Echo Point and the Three Sisters and experience exhilarating rides at Scenic World.

Discover spectacular mountain scenery, including Grose Valley and Bridal Veil Falls, before travelling to Sydney to enjoy Manly, a scenic ferry ride to Circular Quay, a Showboat Cabaret Dinner Cruise on Sydney Harbour and a guided walking tour of historic The Rocks.

The grand finale is the spectacular AIDA on Sydney Harbour, Verdi’s timeless opera brought to life with an extraordinary cast of 130 performers and musicians, a colossal rotating bust of Nefertiti and dazzling fireworks at each performance.
