Cinderella on New Year’s Eve at the Sydney Opera House

  • Sydney Opera House (map)

Once upon a time…

There’s nowhere in the world like Sydney on New Year’s Eve, and there’s nowhere closer to the action than Sydney Opera House.

You know the fairy tale, now feel the magic of Laurent Pelly’s whimsical production of Cinderella. After packed-out runs at the Metropolitan Opera of New York and Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, this acclaimed staging of Cinderella makes a grand Australian debut on New Year’s Eve.

Massenet’s classic opera has long delighted audiences with its sumptuous music and big heart. This production adds a delightful dash of humour with playful choreography, extravagant costumes in outrageous shapes and sizes, and a pop-up storybook set.

Make NYE unforgettable with tickets to our exclusive Midnight Party in the Northern Foyers including drinks, canapés, entertainment and a great vantage point for Sydney’s famous NYE fireworks.

Please note: While the Northern Foyer of the Joan Sutherland Theatre offers views of both the 9pm and midnight fireworks, some locations will have partial or no views. Views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge are only available from the Northern Foyers and due to capacity limits, unobstructed views of both the Sydney Harbour Bridge and fireworks cannot be guaranteed.

If you choose not to purchase 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 cannot be guaranteed.
