Traveler reviews
Fantastic experience behind the scenes at Sydney Opera House.
This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. You do literally go backstage and see how the place works from installing scenery to how the orchestras work. To stand on all 3 stages is something you don’t do everyday!! Well worth doing if you’re in Sydney and have even a small amount of interest in music and performing arts. Our host was Nicholas and he was brilliant- lots of facts and stories, a very engaging guide.
Excellent experience
Fantastic insights and just really fascinating if younlike the arts! Alan, our guide, was simply amazing! Highly recommend!
The backstage facilities were interesting!
The guide (Mr. Markos) was very kind and polite. The explanation of the facilities behind the stage was also detailed and attentive. For my part, though, I have no interest in opera or classical orchestras at all, and I wish they would have explained the facilities and history more firmly.
Awesome tour, Frieda you rock! 😃
It was the best, we got to go into places such as backstage in the Joan Sutherland theatre and the concert hall, the orchestra pit, the biggest lift in the southern hemisphere. We also checked out the dressing rooms, the rehearsal areas and the green room. Freida was the most AMAZING tour guide with her information, stories and friendly personality which made the tour experience a great one. The breakfast was pretty good. a great tour.
Morning at the Sydney Opera House.
We went on the Sydney Opera House Backstage Guided tour with Breakfast. My husband was on the fence about touring the Opera House but we were so glad we did because it was amazing. Alan was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw room reserved for staff and performers and all of the performing halls. We learned a lot of the inside scoop on behind the scenes information and the history of the Opera House. Breakfast was included at the end of the tour in the Green Room. Very nice end to an amazing tour. We enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this tour.
