The Harbour End

When The Wharf opened its doors in January 1985, Vivian Fraser's sensitive renovation, with its respect for the past and embrace of the modern, won universal acclaim. As a venue, The Wharf epitomises the big, bold, adventurous creativity and distinctive Sydney glamour of the company it houses. Nearly 30 years on, visitors to the Sydney Theatre Company still feel a palpable sense of anticipation as they make their way down the long walkway to 'the harbour end'.
