The excellence of the architecture is matched only by the stunning quality of performances, inside. A unique and very special experience. Try the Guided tours, before a memorable concert or show...

We didn't go into the opera house as nothing showing at the time was that interesting to us. However, we went to the opera kitchen and watched the fireworks there. It was fantastic, a little disorganized, but a perfect location.

All I can say is wow. It is amazing. Make sure to take lots of pictures. If you take the fairy to manly then should get the best views.

Worth all the time in the world to go see.

Just for the experience, we made reservations for the two nights we would be in Sydney. It turned out we actually enjoyed both performances. We saw the ballet simply because that was available, not because we're interested in ballet. It turned out to be a genuine pleasure. It was a collection of all the iconic performances of the year. We sat in the balcony, which we realized was the best place for viewing ballet - the whole pattern was obvious in a way it would not have been on the main floor.

The play, "A School for Wives" was presented in another venue at the opera house. Very comfortable, and a fun play.

An extra gift was the availability of free Wi-Fi -- a special treat for us travelers.
