Escape to Glittering 1930s Berlin: A Glamorous Night at the Sydney Opera House

La Bohème

Step into Berlin’s Bohemian Heart

This August, the Sydney Opera House transforms into the golden era of 1930s Berlin. The velvet curtains part on La Bohème, a reimagined classic where the pulse of love and loss beats in the heart of a cabaret. From 23 August to 20 September, audiences are invited to leave the everyday behind and immerse themselves in a dazzling world of music, romance and decadence.

A Story of Love, Friendship and the Echo of Music

Set in the vibrant undercurrent of Berlin’s cabaret scene, La Bohème is a story where friendship and first love blaze bright before fading into bittersweet memory. This isn't the Paris of old – it’s a bold, glittering Berlin, where every song tells a story and every encounter could be the beginning of something unforgettable.

As melodies swell and heartbreak lingers in the air, the characters’ lives unfold in a whirlwind of freedom and longing. Whether it’s your first time seeing this operatic gem or a return to a cherished favourite, this new staging brings emotional intimacy and visual splendour to the fore.

Dazzling Sets, Decadent Costumes, Unforgettable Atmosphere

A night at the opera becomes a full sensory experience with the opulence of La Bohème's design. The Sydney Opera House becomes a portal to another time — all sequins, shadowed jazz bars, and shimmering lights.

Expect dramatic silhouettes, vintage glamour and rich colour palettes that echo the spirit of Berlin’s most decadent clubs. Every detail is tailored to evoke an era where art and desire lit up the night.
