Sydney Opera House

Today marks the launch of our new brand platform – Nothing quite like it. 💫 This campaign captures the magic of experiencing out-of-this-world performances under the iconic sails. There’s truly nothing quite like the experience here — whether it’s sipping champagne as the sun sets, racing up the stairs when the show bell rings, or feeling the electric energy in the Concert Hall as your favourite artist takes the stage. Hope you like the video that captures this special feeling. And a huge shoutout to Rabbit for their brilliant work in bringing this to life.

Last month we celebrated UN Global Goals Week with 'Emerging Arts Leaders Panel: Can culture help build a better world?' live in our Utzon Room, featuring recipients of the Lloyd Martin Travelling Scholarship. ⭐ It was a morning of thought-provoking discussions around how arts organisations can support teachers, and the future of embedding social and environmental sustainability into how organisations work. Thank you to all those who attended and joined via the livestream, we hope you left inspired and motivated to continue making a positive impact through your work.
