Symphony in the Domain

Overview

One of the most iconic performances of Sydney Festival, this show gives the public free access to what would, in usual circumstance, be an expensive night out. Enjoy the sounds of Sydney Symphony Orchestra and celebrate the 40th anniversary of Sydney Festival with a 'best of' from the performances the orchestra has played throughout the years. For the ruby anniversary of the festival, all attendees are asked to dress in red — so pack a picnic, don your ruby slippers and enjoy a glamorous night with your loved ones. All for free. Sydney Festival will also be running Opera in The Domain for free on January 23. More details here.
