Being in the Dame Sutherland theatre at the Sydney Opera House with friends from England made it a great experience

A perfect introduction to opera for my 21 year old daughter, an opera novice. The accompanist was funny and charming and his unpretentious, chilled approach set a wonderful tone for the whole event. Beautiful singing and even audience participation. Opera at the opera house pretty hard to beat.

Hearing wonderful music in Sydney Opera House was a memorable experience. The concert included lots of familiar music and we were left wishing it had lasted even longer. The four soloists from the Australian Opera Company were excellent, their accompanist was a wonderful pianist and very amusing compère too.

Wonderful evening at the JoanSutherland theatre! Gorgeous voices and the piano player/conductor was exceptionally funny as well as informative. Great show

After chiming in the New Year with a spectacular fireworks display, some hours later, it was the opera's turn.. and they did not disappoint. All five performers were terrific and had as forget 2023, hahaha. Loved the twist they presented for the whole 90mins, so it will be engaging for the casual opera fans. Liked the small anecdotes of our conductor to tie-in all the arias from different operas and that line he had at the end, was a good surprise. Would love to see it again, but next time with either a four or six piece orchestra, it would have that "ooommph!" hit. Joan Sutherland Theatre, wow, a very nice and well cooled auditorium... minor quip is on the seat width, as it is a bit small for me, but it was not too uncomfortable.
