Now that the Sydney Opera House is back in action after 2020's COVID-19 shutdown, the iconic site has filled its 2021 program with musicals, operas, comedy gigs, circus shows, family-friendly fare and more. Keen to head along, but watching your budget? The venue has just announced the perfect special for anyone who loves a bargain: $21 tickets to select performances until the end of March.

Here's how it works: at midday each and every day, $21 tickets will go on sale for a performance, event or experience that's on the following day. You just need to hop onto the venue's website when 12pm hits to nab your tickets. It's a first-come, first-served affair, with tickets available until sold out. You can grab four in one transaction, and you won't pay any booking fees with your purchase.

If you haven't already booked yourself in to see Rent, this could be your chance. If you'd like to giggle at Sam Simmons or Lano and Woodley, or catch Circa's Peepshow, cross your fingers they're on the cheap tickets list, too. Cabaret The Choir of Man and operas Tosca and Bluebeard's Castle are also on the bill over the next three months, so keep your eyes peeled for them among the specials.
