Opera Bar: Sydney’s Backyard BBQ , Sydney Opera House

A touch of Australiana has come to the Opera Bar at the Sydney Opera House this January for Summer at the House program. With a homely backyard setting, a classic hills-hoist hanging with tighty whities, picnic dining tables, native plants and greenery, the transformation represents a uniquely Australian culture along with a true-blue Aussie BBQ.
