Case Studies / Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour
Opera Australia • Since 2023
VIP food & beverage for 3,000+ guests per performance.
Create a hospitality program worthy of one of Opera Australia’s most ambitious productions — an open-air opera for 3,000 guests per night at Mrs Macquarie’s Point, with Sydney Harbour as the backdrop.
The offer needed to serve both general audiences and high-value VIPs.
Approach
Designed and operated the HSBC Platinum Club, including a 130-seat fine dining restaurant, a 250-seat bar, and large-scale cocktail events for 1,200+ VIPs.
Integrated NSW producers and natural wine into menus that reflected the scale and drama of the event.
Outcome
Delivered a food program that matched the prestige of the cultural performance, setting a benchmark for hospitality at outdoor arts events. The partnership also built a strong foundation with Opera Australia for future large-scale event catering.
