Fresh off the heels of Wicked, Goldblum’s channelling his quirky charisma into Jeff Goldblum Sydney Opera House magic tonight, Tuesday 5 May. For fans of jazz in Sydney, this show sees The Metropolitan Orchestra—conducted by Sarah-Grace Williams—joining Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra for The Night Blooms World Tour. It’s set to be a jazz-classical fusion featuring live storytelling, jazzy beats, classical music grandeur and that unmistakable Goldblum charm.
From the silver screen to jazz king: tracing Jeff Goldblum’s illustrious career
We all know Goldblum from films like Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Thor: Ragnarok and Wicked, but his Hollywood career dates all the way back to the 1970s. His major breakthrough came with The Fly in 1986, and his star rose quickly after that, leading to a long run of memorable screen roles.
More recently, the A-list actor has dipped his toe into the music world. He released his first studio album, The Capitol Studios Sessions, with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra in 2018, followed by I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This in 2019 and Plays Well with Others in 2023.
His Hollywood star power has pulled in A-list collaborators including Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. And as you’d expect from one of cinema’s most eccentric stars, the music is playful jazz at its finest: swing, blues and soul tunes all polished with Goldblum swagger and vintage Hollywood finesse.
Jeff Goldbum concert at Sydney Opera House
The Night Blooms World Tour’s two nights in Sydney kicked off on 4 May in support of Night Blooms, Goldblum’s fourth album set for release on 5 June. Tonight, he’ll be performing alongside The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra—Goldblum’s long-running jazz band, which he formed around 30 years ago.
Audiences can expect performances of jazz classics, new album cuts and Goldblum’s fingers tickling the piano. The orchestral boost provided by The Metropolitan Orchestra elevates the concert to stratospheric heights—think jazz rhythms and bluesy beats fusing with lush strings and sweeping symphonies. It’s classical music in Sydney getting an exciting jazz redo, sealed with that Goldblum pizzazz.
Sydney Opera House—one of Sydney’s premier live music venues—hosts this epic Jeff Goldblum Sydney concert in the Concert Hall on Tuesday 5 May 2026, kicking off at 7:30pm.
