Mrs Macquaries Chair, SydneyAs Executive Producer, Technical Director, and Production & Site Operations Director at Opera Australia, we were the force behind the landmark annual event Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. Building a pop-up opera house to deliver stunning creative visions, we’ve captivated 50-60k global attendees yearly for over a decade. We’ve managed every aspect of Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. From creative development and artist management to on-site F&B and fireworks—even award-winning toilets (yes, really). Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour was made possible by securing key funding from the International Foundation for Arts and Culture and Destination NSW and has been recognised by the Australian Event Awards and as a finalist in the NSW Tourism Awards.
