In 2012 we're thrilled to present Anne-Sophie Mutter, the 'undisputed queen of violin playing'. Two nights only!

At the end of the year, Ashkenazy conducts two concert performances of Tchaikovsky's opera The Queen of Spades, last heard in Sydney in 1979.

Three more highlights fill out the season: American trumpet sensation Chris Botti, the second part of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and a re-creation of our gala concert from the opening of the Sydney Opera House in 1973.

These tickets are currently available only when purchasing a 2012 subscription.
