Opera Australia: BMW Opera for All

Opera’s most famous music — live under a summer sky!

Gather your loved ones and get ready to head to Fed Square: you’re invited to a free concert in the beating heart of Melbourne’s CBD.

BMW Opera for All is a global concert series that returns to Australia for its third year in 2025, exclusive to Melbourne.

Hear thrilling high notes and stunning harmonies, and experience the uplifting force of opera. This open air concert is performed by some of our brightest stars, backed by a fabulous live orchestra featuring musicians from Orchestra Victoria.

We’ve put together a selection of the most popular arias in opera. There’ll be tunes familiar to everybody — both hardcore opera lovers and total newcomers — and perhaps a few new discoveries along the way.

For the first time, the event will introduce an exciting new edition – a prelude performance by the Australian Girls Choir, highlighting BMW’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility by supporting arts and culture at a grassroots level. This performance will connect young, aspiring artists with award-winning operatic talent, embodying the spirit of creative collaboration.

There’s no better way to spend a summer evening in Melbourne.

The best part? It’s totally free, and there’s no need to register for tickets in advance.
