Thunderstruck A Classic Rock Tribute

Where
Sydney Opera House
Sydney Opera House
Bennelong Point, Sydney NSW 2000
Utzon Room
When

Friday 30 January from 12pm to 1:30pm

From Bohemian Rhapsody to Free Bird an unforgettable night of strings and light. An immersive candlelit journey through iconic rock anthems.

“Rock and roll meets classical music in a gorgeously crafted hour of music.”

Step into a world of shimmering light, where legendary rock anthems are reborn through a single violin – played with the fire and intensity of a full band.

This is not just a tribute show. This is Blue Violin – a genre-defying, conservatory-trained virtuoso who has lit up stages from Carnegie Hall to Singapore, and now brings his world tour to Australia, Europe, Asia, and across the U.S.

Often described as Trans-Siberian Orchestra meets Lindsey Stirling,” Blue Violin delivers fiery virtuosity and cinematic flair in every performance.

Blue Violin has been earning international accolades for genre-bending performances that blur the line between classical virtuosity and rock energy.
