Escape to Manhattan in the 1950s: a colourful, larger-than-life world of showgirls and gangsters, set against the backdrop of Sydney’s glittering harbour.

This is musical theatre at its show-stopping best. The score is packed with huge hits, including ‘Luck Be a Lady’, ‘Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat’, ‘Adelaide’s Lament’ and ‘I’ve Never Been in Love Before’. Expect big laughs and even bigger song and dance numbers in this energetic new staging by Opera Australia’s Artistic Director, Jo Davies.

There’s nowhere better to experience a tale of romance and comedic mayhem than Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. Raise a glass of something bubbly as the sun sets over the water and grab a bite at one of the pop-up restaurants. Then take your seat for an unforgettable night of song and dance, with fireworks at every performance.
