Opera Australia: The Phantom of the Opera
29 March 2026 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm AEDT

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s global phenomenon returns on its 40th anniversary to Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour in a critically acclaimed spectacular. Forty years ago The Phantom of the Opera burst onto the West End, becoming a sensation unlike anything the world had ever seen. Celebrate Phantom’s milestone anniversary in grand style, with the hotly anticipated return of our larger than-life staging on Sydney Harbour.
The story of a mysterious masked man living beneath the Paris Opera House, who falls madly in love with a young singer and employs every devious method to nurture her talents, has enthralled audiences for decades. It’s played to over 160 million people in 58 territories and 205 cities in 21 languages.
With themed pop-up bars and dining, fireworks every night, and a live orchestra hidden beneath the stage, this is an evening you’ll never forget.
