With the Harbour Bridge and the sea as its backdrop,
the white sail-like curves of the Sydney Opera House glow under the setting sun.
More than just a performance venue, the Opera House is a symbol of Sydney and a piece of art in itself.

When Mozart’s masterpiece—rich in satire and genius—takes the stage here,
The Marriage of Figaro becomes not just an opera,
but a truly unforgettable evening that can only be experienced in Sydney.


Why The Marriage of Figaro feels so special

Set in 18th-century Spain, this comic opera follows the clever servant Figaro, his fiancée Susanna, and the ever-entitled Count Almaviva in a whirlwind of plots, disguises, and romantic confusion.
Despite the twists and turns, the story unfolds with humor and lightness.
Mozart’s music, elegant yet full of wit, brings the entire stage to life with charm and rhythm.
Paired with the Opera House’s distinctive and refined production,
the performance becomes accessible even for first-time opera-goers, while still captivating seasoned fans with its timeless brilliance.


What’s the atmosphere like?

Before the show, well-dressed guests gather on the terrace with champagne in hand,
watching the harbor lights shimmer as evening falls.
Then the lights dim, the overture begins,
and the night seamlessly transforms into a stage of music and story.

The opera is sung in Italian, but English surtitles are provided for every seat.
The pacing is smooth, the storyline easy to follow,
and the set, costumes, and lighting work in harmony to draw you in for the entire 2–3 hour experience.
