ACO 2021

Live and Digital in 2021

We've always seen ourselves as musical adventurers, an orchestra that pushes the limits of performance into new and exciting realms. In 2021 we’re presenting an ambitious season with more music than ever before: a radiant series of live performances alongside a digital subscription of cinematic and immersive concert films – ACO StudioCasts.

Please enjoy exploring our 2021 Season. Full-season subscriptions, Flexi-subscriptions and single tickets are now on sale. We hope you’ll join us for what promises to be our most exhilarating adventure yet.

ACO StudioCasts

ACO StudioCasts is a pioneering season of high quality, cinematic concert films created to enhance our live season and to bring the ACO to those who can’t attend our concerts.

Buy an annual subscription for $229, or add to your live concert subscription for $149.

Live Performances

We’re presenting seven programs of live music in 2021, and each of our national venues will enjoy at least two of these programs. Our live season opens with performances in Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong. Then, from May onward, we will present five programs in Melbourne, three in Canberra and two in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

Whether you’re attending two, or all seven, we encourage you to complement your live subscription with a digital subscription to ACO StudioCasts. You’ll see the Orchestra and experience the music in a completely new and immersive way

Frequently asked questions

Not familiar with our subscriptions? Get the answer to frequently asked questions below, or email [email protected] if something still isn't clear.

Can I still buy a subscription?

Yes. There may be fewer concerts in your package but you can still purchase a subscription.

Can I choose my own seats?

In some cities, yes, but not in all. Depending on the current COVID-19 health policies of your state, seating within venues may, or may not, be socially distanced. If it is socially distanced, then the ACO will allocate your seats. If seating is not socially distanced, and the venue is operating at 100% capacity, then you will be able to choose your own seat. Check our website for the latest information..

Can I renew my subscription seats?

If your venue is operating at 100% capacity then yes. If your venue is operating with socially distanced seating then you won’t be able to renew your subscription seats. We will reseat you for 2021 and freeze your current seats so you can go back to them in 2022.

When will I receive my tickets?

If you renewed your existing seats then your tickets will be mailed out in December - January. If you were seated by the ACO due to social distancing requirements then your tickets will be mailed out in early 2021, well before the first concert in your package.

Do I have to wear a mask to concerts?

Although not mandatory, face masks are highly recommended in line with health advice from state governments. Please check our website for information before each performance where we will update our recommendation according to the latest health advice.

Do subscribers get priority seating?

Yes. Full-season Subscribers will be allocated their seats first, followed by Flexi-subscribers.

Am I eligible for a concession?

Concession-priced tickets are available to current holders of means-tested Australian pensions (Aged, Disability, Veteran’s Affairs, Supporting Parent).

I have a credit on my account. How can I use it?

You can use your existing credit towards any ACO purchase, including live performances and StudioCasts subscriptions. Credits can only be redeemed by emailing [email protected] or by calling our Box Office on 1800 444 444.

Will my credit expire?

Credit amounts generated from cancelled performances do not expire. We will continue to hold onto your credit until you decide what you would like to do.

Can I purchase accessible seating?

If you would like to book wheelchair or accessible seating spaces, please call the Box Office on 1800 444 444.

Can I pay for my tickets in installments?

Yes. Full-season Subscribers have the option to pay in instalments – pay 50% to secure your booking and pay the remaining balance in late January 2021.

Can I purchase an ACO StudioCasts Subscription and a live performance Subscription?

Yes, you can purchase both a StudioCasts and live performance subscription, either online or over the phone.
