With just 8 days until the Sydney Coliseum Theatre opens at West HQ in Sydney, we took 7 News on an exclusive behind the scenes look.

A star-studded line up will launch the theatre. David Campbell and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will kick off performances on December 12, ahead of Tina Arena, Dame Edna, and John Butler.

The 2,200-capacity venue then officially launches on December 21 with Aussie music superstars Amy Shark, John Butler, Seaforth and Keith Urban in a night that’s bound to raise the roof of Australia’s newest premiere arts destination.
