Amazing evening

We attended an evening at the Sydney Opera House for Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. We were guests of Viking Cruises & Emirates, Emirates are the Principal Partners. We received the VIP treatment, backstage tour, allowed on the Symphony stage, canapé, & drinks before & at intermission. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony was conducted by Anja Bihlmaier. a wonderful experience.

Take a tour that’s longer than an hour

The tour of the Opera House was, of course, amazing…so amazing in fact that I highly recommend you do a tour that is longer than 1 hour. As for the dinner at Midden, the view of the Bridge lights for Vivid Sydney was amazing. However, the menu choices were extremely limited. In addition, the outdoor overhead heaters were cranked up even though it was a very mild night. I asked to turn down the one over us, but they didn’t. I felt like I was literally being baked by the heat. It was dreadful.

This was a great...

This was a great experience. We had a small group, which made it even better. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, and we got to explore a lot of the opera house and learn about its construction and history. The dinner was fantastic, with a great view. I would recommend this tour.
