...And In 2013, Carmen To Star
NSW Minister for Tourism, Major Events and the Arts, George Souris,
congratulated Opera Australia on what has been an absolute triumph, La
Traviata: Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour 2012.
The NSW Government’s investment in the event through
Destination NSW, was rewarded with a runaway success first up and a sure fire
success in the ensuing two years, with Bizet’s Carmen to be performed on Sydney Harbour
next year.

“This year’s production exceeded its sales target of $6
million and more than half the audience of 40,000 who attended one of the
seventeen performances was new to opera. The audience came from across Sydney, interstate and
overseas. “The project involved over 750 people, including 140 artists, 570
staff and crew and 60 volunteers.”
Mr Souris said the economic benefits of this major event
resonate far beyond the final curtain call with the three year investment
expected to add $100 million into the NSW economy.
