Launched by the Sydney Opera House in April this year, digital platform Stream has an ambition to become the Netflix for Australian performing arts. Stream’s digital offerings expand monthly, with a range of blockbuster shows from the House’s archives, performances filmed live at the iconic venue and digital artworks tailored for a new virtual age.

Sydney Opera House Head of Digital Programming Stuart Buchanan told ArtsHub that the platform is not only a response to the growing demand for digital content, but places its focus on integrating the arts into everyday streaming experiences.
