Its traditional custodians, the Gadigal, would meet on the tidal peninsula to eat and share stories and culture.

To achieve this, the Opera House is focused on four themes: Everyone feels welcome here.We better understand and connect with the community.We are future ready.We lead and inspire positive change.A key strategic goal is ensuring that First Nations voices and culture play a vital role in shaping the Opera House and its future – being at the forefront of the continuation of the cultural care, truth telling and storytelling about this place.

Reimagining and truth telling – First Nations voices are at the forefront of storytelling about Tubowgule, the land and its people, as well as stories on and off the Opera House's stages.
Cultural safety – First Nations staff and audiences, and their cultural expressions, knowledge and perspectives are protected and celebrated at the Opera House.Embedding First Nations values in business – Governance and decision-making processes prioritise the involvement and agency of First Nations people.Connecting with communities – The Opera House supports, shares and connects with First Nations peoples, contributing to key conversations and community events and advancing First Nations cultures and capacity-building in the arts.
