Following the overwhelming response to its 2024 debut, The Cat Empire returns to the Sydney Opera House for a highly anticipated
run of encore performances with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
Thur 27 August
Fri 28 August
Sat 29 August
This special concert sees the band once again re-imagining their catalogue on a grand orchestral scale - blending beloved Cat Empire classics with bold new arrangements written especially for this collaboration. Drawing on the band’s signature mix of Afro-Cuban, Seychellois Creole, Brazilian and flamenco influences, the music is expanded and elevated by the full force of the orchestra, creating a powerful and immersive live experience.
The 2026 encore shows feature world-class flamenco artists Richard Tedesco, Johnny Tedesco and Chantelle Cano, alongside a large choir, bringing added drama, rhythm and emotion to the stage. The result is a joyous, cinematic celebration of rhythm, melody and movement - showcasing The Cat Empire in a way rarely seen and never forgotten.
Presented by Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
