Get ready to fall in love! Introducing the two extraordinary performers who will play West Side Story’s iconic star-crossed lovers at Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour: Billy Bourchier and Nina Korbe.

Billy has appeared in some of Australia’s biggest shows, including tours of Les Misérables, The Book of Mormon, and most recently our production of Miss Saigon. Nina is an award-winning First Nations soprano and a rising star of Australian opera. A graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Music, she has performed with Opera Queensland and Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

West Side Story is a musical masterpiece like no other. Raise a glass of something bubbly as the sun sets, and experience its thrills and romance in this spectacular outdoor production.

This strictly limited season begins performances on 21 March. Don’t miss the Broadway musical phenomenon, as it soars across Sydney Harbour.

West Side Story on Sydney Harbour | Tony & Maria

Tonight, tonight the world is wild and bright. Going mad, shooting sparks into space!
West Side Story exploded onto Broadway in 1957 in a sensational storm of exuberant dance and wistful romance. It was a phenomenon that never faded, “an incandescent piece of work” (The New York Times).

In 2024, this musical masterpiece returns to Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour in an electrifying, larger-than-life staging. Experience the greatest score ever written for musical theatre, dynamic dance numbers that soar through the open air, and a love story for the ages.

It’s war on New York’s Upper West Side, and the Jets and the Sharks are locked in a fierce turf battle. But as the two teen gangs hurtle down a dangerous path, Tony and Maria cross enemy lines, dreaming of a time and place where they can love freely.

Leonard Bernstein’s score is punctuated with hits: ‘America’, ‘Tonight’, ‘Maria’, ‘I Feel Pretty’, and the enduring ‘Somewhere’.

Opera and musical theatre great Francesca Zambello directs a production that revels in all that’s beautiful about West Side Story, with designers Brian Thomson and Jennifer Irwin transforming Sydney into a slice of New York.

See why this staging became the highestselling ever on the harbour-top stage, delighting audiences and critics. Limelight called it “a wonderful production that uses the large, outdoor space cleverly, thrills with its electrifying choreography and catchy, complex score ★★★★½”.

If you’ve never been to Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour, prepare for a remarkable night out. Arrive early to enjoy the sun setting over Sydney Harbour as you raise a glass and drink in the view at one of the five pop-up bars and restaurants on site. Then take your place in the grandstand by the water to enjoy the enthralling show, complete with live orchestra hidden beneath the dramatic stage and fireworks in the balmy night air.
