Sydney Opera House: Wild Things International Kids Festival
30 September

Get ready to go wild!
This spring school holidays, the Sydney Opera House will transform into a creative wonderland for kids and their families with the inaugural Wild Things International Kids Festival.
Across 16 days, leading companies from Europe, North America, the United Kingdom, Asia and Australia will illustrate the breadth of performance-making for the young and the young at heart.
Free, large-scale installations and performances will take over the Forecourt as the space becomes a vibrant playground where families roam free among immersive activations. Inside the building, a dynamic array of performances includes two shows for babies and nine Australian premieres. All performances are priced at $49 and under, with creative workshops – including one using the latest Apple technology – and play activities for a roaring good time.
