The discovery of true magic starts when we present Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House.
Benjamin Britten’s famous work is a captivating introduction to the orchestra, as it explores how musicians play instruments and the sounds each instrument makes. It’s an exciting journey from the highest notes to the lowest, from the bright blasts of brass to the silky shimmer of the strings, from the rumbling power of percussion to the smooth sound of the woodwinds.

Luke Carroll (Play School) will be your narrator, as we explore the whole orchestra section by section, then put it back together again to show how we make our big, powerful sound.

Finally, you can hear how the orchestral sound is used with performances of two famous pieces: John Williams’ rousing theme for Indiana Jones and the enchanting song Let It Go from Disney’s Frozen!

It’s a family event designed for ages 5–12.

Children aged 15 years and under must be accompanied at all times. Children aged 0-23 months at the time of a performance may be seated on a parent’s lap free of charge. All children occupying a seat or aged 2 year/s of age or older must hold a valid ticket.

Each performance is expected to run for a duration of 45 minutes.
