Experience the life, energy and buzz of Australia’s favourite building. Next, enjoy a private tour of “Australian Art Stories” at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which explores the culture and stories behind Australian art. Following lunch at Matt Moran’s Crafted Restaurant at the Gallery, transfer back to the hotel to relax.
This evening we transfer to Mrs Macquaries Point for a night of mystery and romance. Following your pre-theatre Dinner at HSBC Platinum Club, you will take your Premium Reserve seat and immerse yourself in the atmosphere as the sun sets over Sydney’s spectacular skyline. Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour’s dazzling new production showcases The Phantom of the Opera in a breathtaking production – under the stars, on a floating stage, city lights glittering in the background. Be awed by a new level of spectacle brought to the show’s defining moments – the mirror, the journey to the Phantom’s lair and the famed chandelier brought to life by opera’s top talents accompanied by a live orchestra hidden beneath the stage.
The Phantom haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House. He’s man and mystery, a deformed genius. In Christine Daaé, he’s found his angel of music – the young woman he would make a star. Be mesmerised as their tale draws you in to the magic and music of the night!
