Most are familier with the fantastic architecture of the Sydney Opera House but it is even more beautiful inside. We went to an opening night of an opera and it will be one of those events we will never forget. The acoustics are fabulous, the view of the harbor from the floor height windows breathtaking. Be aware though. There are... more

Went here in July 2008 with my family (girl 12 and boy 14) Really enjoyed the walk around the outside of the opera house with the great views over the harbour , the city backdrop and of course the beautiful Opera House itself. There are free street performances from some of the Opera house performers if you are lucky. We... more

Either see a show here, please, or pay $29 AUD per person for the tour. We got to see rehearsals of a a play.. with a director coaching his cast.. Amazing architecture. A bit gawdy, if you ask me, but amazing nonetheless. It reminded me of A Clockwork Orange, for some reason. Anyway, the tour is about 1 hour, $29... more

The Opera House is one of the most memorable things you will see in Sydney only really challenged by the Harbour Bridge. I recommend the tour as it's cheap and the only way you can see inside the concert halls without paying to see a show. However if you don't want to take a tour you can see the beauty... more

My daughter and I took the tour of the Opera House last week and were disappointed. Whilst the building itself is magnificent (even if the interior is somewhat dated), the tour was rushed. The guide was a touch bossy and herded us around and issued instructions as though we were children on a school trip. The tour is not cheap,... more

I must say, we were slightly disappointed by the tour we had at the Opera House. Whilst is was amazing to see inside the building (we didn't see a show), we felt that the tour was a little rushed. It was advertised as an hour long tour, but it was more like 55 minutes - ok, not that much shorter... more

It was pretty cool! You will never foregt that you have been there! We had an excellent gay guide who showed us inside the operahouse. hehe, I'll never forget the purple room, it suited well to the guides purple tie and eyeshadow! The food was by the way excellent, and so thought the seagull;-/ more

We saw the "Barber of Seville" at the Opera House and it was a great experience. The show itself was entertaining and enjoyable and it is a wonderful experience seeing the Opera House in working order. The inside is not as spectacular as the outside, but it is worth going in just to say you did it. Even our teenagers... more

We did the short tour which was very nice and informative. They gave us a $10 coupon to see a show. We walked up to the counter and were seated right in the middle of the theatre. We had just learned that these were the prime seats on the tour. People are right about seeing a show is the best... more
