Plan the event stay
Choose the date, then compare where to stay.
Ready, Set Listen! The Planets is confirmed by the official venue or organiser for the dates shown. Check the current entry arrangements and your specific ticket or session before planning arrival.
Circular Quay and The Rocks make useful bases, but check the route to your actual entrance. The nearest accommodation is ranked by straight-line building distance, not by walking time. The Opera House contains several performance spaces, so check the room or outdoor venue on your ticket. A tour, a restaurant booking and a performance require different arrival planning.
