BRINGING NSW TO YOU - SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

Sydney and regional NSW operators are continuing to make the most of people’s strong desire for positive content by feeding those at home with an abundance of new digital experiences. From virtual cultural tours to virtual tasting parties, NSW businesses are helping keep our state at the forefront of minds. Below are some of the many new initiatives waiting to be explored:

Tweed Regional Museum: Discover history from home with a virtual tour of the Tweed Regional Museum, a digital view of its current exhibitions through a sequence of still images, text and narration. The virtual tour gives users a taste of the rich displays available to enjoy when the Museum opens again. The Museum tour is part of Tweed Shire Council's ‘Together Tweed’ campaign and is designed to share the Tweed’s fascinating history during the COVID-19 shutdown.

Swinging Bridge Orange: Famous for its cool-climate wines, Swinging Bridge in Orange has introduced virtual tasting parties – an opportunity to gather wine-loving friends and talk with Owner and Winemaker, Tom Ward. Tasting packs can now be purchased online and include 3x bottles of wine selected by you, 45min tasting experience with Tom Ward via Zoom, tasting notes on each wine and 1x complementary tasting experience to be used at the Cellar Door when it reopens.

Sydney Opera House 360: Tour the Sydney Opera House in a 360° experience. This online initiative captures one of the world’s busiest performing arts centres between the acts — waking up, in rehearsal and at rest — featuring the outstanding young Australian soprano Nicole Car, cellist and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Director of Artistic Planning, Benjamin Schwartz and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra itself under the baton of David Robertson, Chief Conductor and Artistic Director.

Destination NSW features innovative businesses and attractions like these in each edition of Insights with the aim of inspiring other tourism operators to develop new and different ways to promote their products and experiences to audiences worldwide.
