This week saw Ichiko Aoba transform our Concert Hall into a living universe, weaving pure vocal magic for her fans with a performance like no other. ✨

Joined by composer Taro Umebayashi and a five-piece string ensemble, Aoba brought her quietly mesmerising and ethereal sound to the stage, moving between whispers and soaring refrains with a talent that left the audience in awe.

Wild Things has officially been open for a week now, and the kids have taken over the Opera House! There's been dinosaur sightings, deep-sea adventures, and people soaring into the sky on a giant swing. 🦕

There's just one week left of the festival but plenty still to see. Join three friends on a journey in the woods where all four seasons happen in a single day. Step into a Mongolian yurt and see it transformed into a tale of wonder. Plus lots more free fun on the Forecourt, including... a flock of sheep?!

Get ready to go wild for our final week of Wild Things!

Thank you to our generous Giving Day donors, whose support has helped make Wild Things possible and opened up the Opera House to thousands of young people and families.

Plans for spring? We’ve got a few ideas. 🌸

A morning coffee. A long lunch. A night of dancing. Something to make the kids laugh. A show you’ve been waiting for. Or simply a reason to sit beneath the sails and watch the harbour go by. There’s plenty to discover at our House.

Consider this your seasonal guide to what’s on, what to share with the group chat, and what might make your next outing a little more memorable.

Whatever you’re in the mood for, come over and find your thing.

Turns out Batman isn’t the only bat at the House…

Six species of microbats call Bennelong Point home, including three threatened species: the eastern bent-winged bat, little bent-winged bat and large-footed myotis.

As part of the Saving our Species Bats in Backyards program, we installed AudioMoth detectors back in March across the precinct to record our mini neighbours and gather vital data on how they use urban habitats. A New South Wales citizen science initiative, Bats in Backyards helps monitor and protect rare and threatened insect-eating microbats while building a better understanding of how these remarkable animals survive and thrive alongside our communities.

One detector sat 67 metres above ground, right at the top of the sails. From these recordings, scientists were able to analyse bat activity across the entire precinct, transforming the Sydney Opera House into a living lab for conservation, learning and community participation.

The best part? Anyone can get involved. The Bats in Backyards program relies on citizen scientists across New South Wales to help collect data and support bat conservation. Expressions of interest for future participants are expected to open in October, making it a great opportunity to contribute to real-world scientific research and help protect local biodiversity.

Thanks to NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environmental and Water and also to our Global Goals partner Honeywell for making this important work possible – it goes to show what happens when shared passion turns into collective action.

The relationship between the performing arts and the screen is as old as cinema itself. At the Sydney Opera House, it stretches back to our opening in 1973.

Today, that legacy continues with 'Shortwave'. In just five years since its launch, the program has commissioned more than thirty short films, often in partnership with community arts organisations and independent producers.

For the 2026 season, we’re premiering films from some of Australia’s most exciting contemporary artists. This is your ticket to step into their most experimental work yet: https://soh.online/shortwave-2026_read-now

Thank you to Sydney Opera House New Work Now donors for enabling Shortwave.
