Best Dan Sultan show I've seen to date!
Dan was amazing, inspiring, emotional, humble, powerful, cheeky - but that voice and the instrument skills??!! I can't wait for the next show!
Sadly I was unable to be there in person, but I was; in Spirit.
So so glad she chose to come back to us here.
Saw her in Canberra and was able to chat with Hania for a few minutes. <3
Rufus Wainwright was absolutely fabulous. The vocals and light setup was top notch and the whole atmosphere was heavenly. Plus, he had an opening act (that was later integrated into the show) called Folkbitch and they were absolutely amazing!! Overall, if you are a big fan (as I am) or someone just wanting to see a good show, this concert is the way to go!!
Excellent concert, the operations team were excellent. There was ample space for people to either have a great seated position on the steps or stand and have great visibility. Loads of food & beverage vans & pricing was on point and the food selection was high quality.
Only challenge was the ambiguous comms between receiving physical “collector” style tickets and the emails from Ticketmaster to download tickets to the wallet which couldnt be done. We were informed when we were in the line we needed to print our tickets however the comms suggested that we couldnt print them.
The Opera House pop up booth were happy to print off official tickets and we didnt miss a beat.
Love an event at The Opera House. I find when there are several stakeholders in organising the event between Ticketmaster & Opera House the line of communication can be rather blurred.
Other than a slight bump in the road, a brilliant event and a wonderful format.
Two Door Cinema Club were fantastic -Alex’s voice was so clear, the drums, keyboards & guitars were on amazing, you could tell all members were having a great time & everyone in the audience were with them. The screen behind with all the bright images conveying the meaning of each of their songs was riveting & genius. My favourite song is “This is the Life” & it was their opener - I knew from the beginning I was in for a memorable night. The Opera House is perhaps the best live door venue I have experienced which added to a perfect night!
Thirty six years after hearing them for the first time in German Radio we finally saw them live on stage in the best place one can imagine: front of the Sydney Opera House. One more check box ticked on a life’s Bucket list.
What a fantastic night. Missy Higgins is a phenomenal singer. Her voice is just beauty and sitting on the steps of the opera house felt like magic. Missy was funny and explained some of the backstory to her songs on the sound of white cd. The first set of her show was acoustic which i loved and she even forgot some chords and words to her own songs and in true Australian style said i buggered that up proving that she is human just like all of us.
Would highly reccomed going to anyone of her shows. She will make you feel like your the only one in the room or steps for that matter.
She been around for a while now and has some great songs, she was fantastic on the night. If you have never heard of her it's because radio don't play her music, and is a huge crime. She got a standing ovation and truly deserved it. Check out some songs youtube such as Lazards Drug, Silencio, Limitless and many more. She played along side Ben Lee for a ballad and performed one of his hits "Catch My Desease', Great night all round. A national treasure.
Truly amazing artists. The venue is wonderful. As with most places more ladies toilets would be appreciated. Also its a long way to the top of the concert hall. Disabled assistance would be wonderful
Jim & Co. both looked and sounded amazing - their energy was captivating and electrified (or should I say sanctified) the audience. Jim's voice was amazingly on point and his energy was more akin to a show they would have done in the 80's or 90's - there was no slowing down.
It was great to see that Sydney and performing in the iconic Opera House meant so much to them all. This was also the 2nd show of that same night - they had an earlier full set show at 6pm - and there was no signs of it, and felt like they could have easily done a midnight show!
The band sounded incredible with throaty bass riffs, recording studio quality synth cues, red-hot lead licks and a drummer who frequently led the charge with the heartbeat of the band who also gave a pulse-racing stand alone solo that would have shamed Tommy Lee...and as I was sitting in the elevated side-on and to the back seats (so looking down at the band) she did this amazing audio assault with the kickdrums......in HIGH HEELS!
Overall, an amazing show - please come back again!
Seriously one of the most well considered and executed concerts of a hard out rock concert of all time from beginning to end, right down to the lighting. Well done crew, it was awesome.
The concert presented by Guy and his band was fantastic. Great musicians, quality back up singers, undoubtably a true talent in Guy pulling it all together. This coming from a die hard fan of 70's-80's Australian pub rock. Great night, fantastic venue. Sadly missed out on securing a commemorative tee shirt for my wife. 10 out of 10.
WOW! What an event, an amazing venue that you must experience at least once in your lifetime.
Birds of Tokyo and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra did not disappoint, such an amazing concert and a truely unforgettable experience.
Absolutely fantastic, they never disappoint and seeing them in this setting with the Orchestra took their show to another level. I wish I had tickets to all 3 shows in Sydney as 1 night was not enough. Can't wait to see them next year again at Kiama Showground.
OMG! Thank you, Birds of Tokyo and Sydney Symphony Orchestra. What an epic concert.
Every component was perfectly combined - the band, orchestra and conductor. I'm so glad to have experienced this masterpiece.
Absolutely brilliant performance. Stunning reimagining of BoT’s most popular songs. Standout songs (if that was even possible) were Hurt (cover of Johnny Cash’s cover of the Nine Inch Nails song = their description!) and Brace, a powerful symphonic masterpiece.
There was magic made in the SOH Drama studio at Jen's concert. I took my daughter , niece, sister and husband and we all were thrilled by the performance. The stage was filled with love and language that cut through to all the diverse ages and people in the room. I am a fan so I was itching to dance, but for my guests I think it was a perfect introduction to Jen's oeuvre and her skill. What I love best was the bringing to life of all the most important messages we need today in the world. Acceptance, willingness to listen, open hearted wondering, the environment, our mental health, our dignity and our need to be generous. Jen's songs give so much . My heart is full. She proved that music is the language of us all .
Great band to see live but outdoors at the opera house isn’t loud enough and doesn’t do them justice !! Indoors last time we saw them was a heap better
While unexpected to start with the front man Eric and his guitar it was an interesting introduction to the band. Loved hearing the favourites with a few ones I had never heard before. Great venue, relaxed style.
Wonderful show not only Katie Noonan but also Wendy Mathews, Ella Hooper, Melinda Schneider etc. I didn't know much about Joni Mitchell's music (Or as an Indian Lady directing people call her Johnny Mitchell which is understandable as a lot of people spell John as Jon)
Excellent show
