In 2007, Sydney Symphony celebrates 75 years of inspiring music. They will welcome back conductors Gianluigi Gelmetti, Sir Charles Mackerras and Vladimir Ashkenazy and renowned soloists such as violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann and James Morrison. Joining for the first time will be trumpter Håkan Hardenberger, jazz legend Chick Corea and brilliant young pianist Cedric Tiberghien.

Ranging from treasured classics at the heart of the orchestral repertoire to galvanising contemporary works, the programs of the 2007 Season have something for everyone. Book now to experience one of three monumental cycles of works from Brahms, Beethoven and Rachmaninov or for the multi-hued beauty of Messiaen's Turangalîla-symphonie and much much more.

The Sydney Opera House was destined for greatness ever since it was opened in 1973. Easily Australia's most recognizable icon, the building is a UNESCO World Heritage listed site joining the likes of the Taj Mahal, the Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall of China and Egypt's pyramids as one of the world's 'must-see' travel attractions. Combining your visit with a performance by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and dinner at one of Sydney's best restaurants simply makes for an unforgettable Sydney Opera House experience.
