Opera Bar Is Throwing a Huge New Year's Eve Beach-Themed Party
Beach huts, roaming sharks and an astroturf dancefloor — with that fireworks view.
It's been one of the top spots for New Year's Eve for an age, and this year it's turning itself into a big ol' beach party. Opera Bar, with its front row harbourside seat and recently tszujed fitout, has announced plans for one heck of a NYE party.
Sitting front and centre for the multimillion-dollar fireworks, Opera Bar's NYE party involves palm trees, beach chairs and more canapes than you can poke a glow stick at. The whole party is beach-themed; think beach balls, beach huts, cabanas, umbrellas, kombi vans and an astroturf dancefloor. Yep, you read that correctly, an openair, astroturf dancefloor.
While you're making halfhearted new year's resolutions over flutes of bubbly, you can enjoy a five-hour canape package — yep, five hours of canapes. Think you can tear yourself away from the nosh to throw a few shapes beside Sydney Harbour? There'll be live music from Sydney's unpindownable cover-lovin' crew Furnace & the Fundamentals, producer and R&B artist Alphamama and DJ Natural Selector. Plus, the party's beachy theme will see roaming entertainment in the form of random surf lifesavers, sharks (sharks?!), retro bathers, the whole shebang.
Tickets are $390+BF per person and includes express VIP entry to Sydney Opera House (so you don't have to join that huge line with the public) and that hectic five-hour canape package. Importantly, drinks aren't included in the ticket price, so bring bubbly money. Doors open at 6pm and the event runs to 3am — now that's a solid party.
New Year's Eve at Opera Bar is happening on December 31 from 6pm. Tickets ($390+BF) go on sale from 9am on Tuesday, October 6 from Opera Bar's website. Over 18s only, sorry kids.
