Set on Sydney Harbour against the striking backdrop of the Sydney Opera House, the mass appeal of Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour has attracted more than 11,300 overseas and interstate visitors since 2012, delivering $20 million to the NSW economy.
NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism and Major Events Andrew Stoner said, “Every year Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour surprises audiences with its awe-inspiring productions, and I am pleased to announce it will be returning next year.”
“Over the last three years Opera Australia’s Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini has developed Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour into an outstanding and totally unique event, with something for everyone from first timers to life-long opera lovers.”
Aida is the first production in a new three year agreement between Destination NSW and Opera Australia to stage Opera on Sydney Harbour, which includes an expanded four week season, from 27 March to 26 April 2015.
Opera Australia Artistic Director, Lyndon Terracini, said: “I'm delighted to be able to share the news that Aida will be the opera staged in 2015 for Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. This will be a new production, created especially for this magical outdoor venue.
“I am very proud of what we have achieved in the first three years of Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour, and it's wonderful to be able to grow this in 2015 into a bigger show and a longer season,” he said.
