Overview

If you've been hitting up Sydney Festival this month, you've probably been spending your pre- and post-show slots at the festival village in Hyde Park. But when that wraps up this week, where will you go? Straight to the Sydney Opera House, we say, as its just launched a pop-up bar in line with its summer program.

The bar, which has taken over its Portside venue off the Western Foyers, is themed around the very extra decadence of the Tudor period — namely the time of King Henry VIII. It ties in with the Opera House's current musical Six, which tells the story of the monarch from the perspective of his six (yes, six) wives.

What does this mean? Champagne — and lots of it. G.H. Mumm is sponsoring the bar, so you can expect to see if flowing in flutes and giant cocktail glasses. There will also be some fancy snacks, like chicken liver pâté  and Welsh rarebit.

The bar will be open daily, but if you've got tickets for a Friday or Saturday show, you're in luck — you'll be able to play a game of quoits to a soundtrack supplied by an all-female lineup of DJs.
