Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour returns with a mesmerising performance of Aida. The unique concept has been a cherished event of the city for the past three years, enjoyed by both opera first-timers and regulars for its ability to reinvent traditional opera performances. The cultural spectacle teams the enchanting location with vivid costumes and set design to create a night that guests won’t forget.
Aida, the result of a collective effort by over 700 people, brings Sydney Harbour alive with the tale of an Egyptian hero, a beautiful slave girl and her conflict of love. Revel in the visual feast, including dramatic battle scenes and the famous Triumphal March, combined with music from the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra and the Opera Australia Chorus. The story is steeped in history and enhanced with unforgettable features, like fireworks and camels, ending in a way that is relatable to all modern-day audiences.
