More than 65,000 tickets were sold to this year’s unique retelling of the legendary Broadway musical, surpassing the previous record held by Aida on the Harbour in 2015.
The NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW has supported Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour since its inception in 2012.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said it’s no surprise Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour has been such a hit with audiences once again.
“This production of West Side Story boasts all the elements that make for an unforgettable performance – fantastic singing and dancing, dazzling costumes and sets, and spectacular fireworks set against the iconic Sydney Harbour backdrop,” Mr Ayres said.
“Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour has attracted thousands of visitors from all over the globe every year. From 2012 to 2018, this has included over 74,000 overnight visitors who have generated $66 million in visitor spend for NSW.”
Details of Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour’s 2020 production will be announced later this year.
