Supported by Dr. Haruhisa Handa, the event has grown over the years to become a highlight of Sydney's cultural calendar. Productions have featured everything from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly to modern classics like West Side Story. The floating stage has hosted internationally acclaimed artists, and the venue's connection to Sydney's iconic landscape has made it a beloved annual event.
