  • Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Loved it. I simply loved it. All four singers were wonderful and the pianist was the nexus that brought the whole performance together. High recommended.

    We booked a gala dinner and the performance in the opera, with closing ceremony of new years faire works, amazing. unfortunate was the Etiquete, we have bin requested toi dress smart for the occasion, but there was no control for the performance, clients dressing shorts, unadequate dressed; and worse was that clients could buy the drinks and bring them to the performance. a better control should be made

    Going to see thi show was one of the reason for our 3 night short stay holiday to Sydney. Set on the magnifient Sydney Harbour with a stunning backdrop of city lights and fireworks just before interval this is a truely spectacular setting.

    We travelled to the venue via water taxi from a pontoon located next to the entrance to the Botanic Gardens, a short walk past the Sydney Opera House. Single adult ticket price was $15 but other options included bus, taxi and ride share to the venue enterance. We were unaware of these and had chosen to walk to the Opear House expecting the performance to be close by - it is not.

    We booked a return water taxi and were very happy when the return trip dropped us at Circular Quay, which reduced our walk back to the hotel.

    NOTE there is quite a walk from the water taxi drop off point to the venue which includes several flights of stairs which may be a challange for people with mobility issues.

    We booked mid priced seats (still $284pp) in C block half way up. These provided a good view of the stage and we saw everything. Note that seats at the extreme left of stage in blocks A and B would have poor sight lines and therefore are a lot cheaper.

    HINT book isle seats if you can as this will help existing the venue at the end of the show.

    The set is amazingly simple but effective and the singing and dancing wonderful, as you would expect from such a renowned company. This rendition is faithful to the original version and worth seeing. However I doubt younger children would be entertained and the price is high compared to other shows I have seen.

    I note that as the show started people from the cheaper seats simply moved across to the vacant more expensive ones and nobody tried to stop them, so you might get luckly. Showing till 21 April 2024.

    Just had fun .

    The strict restriction of food to keep costs down was disappointing. Maybe just a bowl of jatz and cube cheese - to assist with those the appetite is needed ……..

    For something different
    For a good laugh
    Something fun for date night .

    Just make sure you eat and drink before you go .

    Brilliant, an amazing seamless performance. Loved every minute! Would highly recommend. Cirque du Soleil sure know how to put in a show, non stop entertainment.
