Traveler reviews
Exceptionally informative experience!
Wonderful way to experience not only the inner workings of the Opera House but also its architectural history from inception, to execution, to modern day use - including its contribution to the environment with its carbon negative status. Attending a performance later that same evening was so much more magical and wondrous since the tour gave us a deep appreciation of what it takes to put on a show!
Educational and Fun!
It was the highlight of my trip to Sydney so far. Marcus was a passionate tour guide and ensured we had fun and learned a lot about the history of the opera house. It was wonderful.
Rebecca is as such an...
Rebecca is as such an amazing charismatic informative guide. She showed us around very exclusive areas. Once in a lifetime experience.
We really enjoyed this...
We really enjoyed this tour of the opera house, which took us to parts of the building that we wouldn’t ordinarily be able to see. Michael provided very interesting historical information and insight into the workings of theatrical productions. He was also very thoughtful in answering every question that was asked during the tour.
The secrets of the magic.
Oh. My. Gosh! If you have ever wanted a behind the scenes look at how a theater venue makes the magic happen’, THIS is the tour for you! Rebecca our guide met us at the Stage Door. After checking us in and issuing us visitors ID and ID vests, we began our exploration from the ‘bottom’ up. Sydney Opera house is a magnificent structure in itself. To be able to actually see the details ( stage turn tables, computerized drop sequencers, prop/ quick change areas… ‘the pit’, , the ‘green room- like of which you’ve NEVER SEEN! to name a few of the places explored was AMAZING!!! To see My Fair Lady the same evening was indeed ‘magical’. It is EARLY in the AM. The tour completes by 10:30 w breakfast in the green room. This is a working theater, so visitors must make way for ‘the show to go on’. Do try this. You won’t be disappointed.
