A great tour

This is a great tour. It covers the whole building and historical information. I'm so glad we took the time to learn all about the Opera House!

Totally worth it!

The tour of the Opera House was amazing! It began with a 5-minute video which was very informative. After the video our guide escorted through the unoccupied areas. He was very interesting to listen to, extremely knowledgeable & kept us engaged. We saw the red box theatre whose history was fascinating, the exterior, and the symphonic main theatre which became more beautiful after knowing the story of the reason certain materials were used in it as well as the entire construction history of the opera house. We chose to use our dine voucher at Middens which offered the choice of fish, vegetarian or chicken with a beer, wine or soft drink to be eaten in the bar area only.
