A YEAR OF BOUNDLESS CREATIVITY AND UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES

 

The upcoming 2025 season in Arts & Culture promises a diverse range of events across multiple disciplines that will captivate all creative minds. Key highlights include Gallery exhibitions of both contemporary and classical works from abroad and local, theatrical productions that will both push the boundaries like La Clique and offer a personalised and educational experience with Marrow and Looking for Alibrandi.

2025 will see a focus on longer-running, big name shows with the Lord of the Rings, A Musical Tale running for 19 shows. Our culinary offerings are particularly noteworthy, with a strong emphasis on fine dining experiences that complement our Gallery exhibitions and theatrical productions.

HOTA Presents a Sydney Theatre Company Production

3 - 5 April 2025

After a wildly popular, sold-out performance season in 2022, and a sold-out national tour in 2024, this smash-hit production returns to the stage with the brilliant Heather Mitchell reviving her award-winning 'virtuosic performance' of the women who changed the face of the American legal system: the indomitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Follow the chronicles of Ginsburg's wins and dissents, traces her steps forward and the steps back, as Oliver Award-winning Australian playwright Suzie Miller brings her right into the room with you.
