PunQtum was part of the communications system for the 2025 Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour, Opera Australia’s spectacular open-air production. This year’s show was Guys & Dolls.
The site is rebuilt every year: a 3,000-seat pop-up amphitheatre with a stage floating on the harbour, built in just four weeks. Around 100 personal comms were in use at every performance.
Dedicated wired, digital PunQtum beltpacks were used by the six-person follow-spot crew. Riedel Bolero covered most of the stage crew, and two-way radios served security and house staff.
All of it ran on a single site network managed by Riedel, with armoured fibre linking the floating stage to shore. Sharing that network meant departments didn’t need separate cable runs for audio, lighting and comms.
