New in 2023, Classics Under the Sails is the perfect orchestral experience on a Friday or Saturday night at the Sydney Opera House, whether you’re new to orchestral music or just want to expand your Sydney Symphony experience.
From the epic opening of Thus spoke Zarathustra – famous from 2001: A Space Odyssey – to the lush romance of Tchaikovsky’s great ballets Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty, and the fascinating rhythms of New York in Gershwin’s jazzy Rhapsody in Blue, hear some of the greatest classical music of all time.
