Description The critically-acclaimed and wildly popular Madama Butterfly returns to the Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour stage. Under the stars, with fireworks every night as well as pop-up bars and eateries, this is “the most impressive outdoor event in Australia... You don’t need to understand opera to understand what makes the occasion great” (Concrete Playground).

Take your seats overlooking ‘Paradise’ – complete with a bamboo grove and a giant moon and rising sun floating on the harbour. The picture-perfect backdrop of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge twinkles with thousands of city lights as night falls.
