What's not to like about opera? You get to listen a heroic story-line, a possible love triangle or perhaps some manipulations and intrigue. There are usually some gorgeous costumes, beautiful singing and melodies.



Mazda Opera in the Domain is an open-air concert held in the Phillip Precinct of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney. On Saturday 13 January 2018 at 8pm, everyone can get a night of free opera. That is right FREE!

This event has been running since 2000 and it is sponsored by Mazda. It attracted a record crowd of more than 24,000 people in 2017, Mazda Opera in the Domain is the ultimate Sydney summer experience.

This is the ideal opportunity for first-time and seasoned opera-goers alike to experience the magic of opera, with highlights from the world's most popular operas, such as, 'Nessun dorma' from Turandot, The Flower Duet from Lakmé and The Toreador's Song from Carmen performed by Australia's finest opera singers and Opera Australia Orchestra.
