Violetta is the life of every party. A courtesan with a heart of gold, she’s free and free-spirited. Could a little love change everything?

Experience the joy and heartache of the world’s most popular opera and the magic of Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. This timeless story plays out on a giant mirrored stage over the water, with the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge acting as the backdrop. A 3.5-tonne chandelier shimmers with 10,000 crystals, and fireworks light up the night sky.
