    Miss Saigon at the Opera House
    My husband and I saw Miss Saigon in the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Opera House. The production in this amazing space (seating capacity 1507) was second to none. I can’t imagine it being bettered anywhere else. The Opera House itself is an incredible building but seeing a show here was a dream come true. It’s expensive but worth it.
    Dear guennie3, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this 5 star review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed Miss Saigon in the Joan Sutherland Theatre and will be sure to pass on your fabulous comments to our friends at Opera Australia. We are so glad you had a once in a lifetime opportunity seeing a performance at the Sydney Opera House. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back very soon. Kind Regards, Team SOH

    Icon of AU
    This past month, on our way back from seeing our children in New Zealand, my wife and I stopped in Sydney for five days. My wife is an avid opera fan, and thanks to our good luck, we were able to purchase tickets at a price that was quite affordable for her favorite opera, Carmen. In addition to that, we participated in the pre-performance picnic, which had charcuterie, cheese, and sparkling wine. It was a delightful addition. The entire event was fantastic, despite the fact that the audience members were somewhat less well-behaved than one would generally anticipate and that there was some distracting chatter throughout the performance. Despite everything, I had a fantastic time, and it's definitely something I won't soon forget. The location of the opera house is breathtaking, and the structure itself is beautiful enough to warrant its place as an iconic landmark. In general, a night to look back on with fondness.
    Hi Bethany G, Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We agree, our heritage listed building is an iconic landmark, breathtaking and beautiful! And we're so glad you enjoyed the entire experience with a pre-performance picnic and some bubbly. We are just a little confused by the location and timeline in your review, as Opera Australia's Carmen took place at Cockatoo Island late last year... But nevertheless, we are so glad that you had such a wonderful time, and sorry to hear about the chatterboxes who were sitting near you. Kind regards, Team SOH

    So beautiful
    Visited on a sunny day - beautiful architecture! Underneath there are some cool bars and cafes. Free toilets and also the tickets for the performances aren’t too expensive so we’re looking forward to seeing Twelfth Night there in a few days time!
    Dear Stay50852488426, Thank you for your review, we are so glad that you enjoyed your visit to the Sydney Opera House. We agree, the architecture is beautiful and the precinct sparkles on a sunny day! American architect Louis Kahn once said that 'the sun did not know how beautiful its light was, until it was reflected off this building.' We hope you enjoyed Twelfth Night and we hope to welcome you back one day! Kind regards, Team SOH

    A testament to the power of design and creativity
    Its gleaming Danish design has made it a symbol of cultural excellence and inspiration. From the moment you set eyes on it, you can feel the grandeur of the building and the possibilities it holds. Inside, you can experience world-class performances in a variety of genres, from opera to ballet to musicals. The building itself is a marvel of engineering, with a series of curved shells that are perfectly balanced and designed to capture the light and create an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
    Dear meioestreichv, Thank you for leaving this wonderful review of your visit to the Sydney Opera House! I agree, this is a magnificent building and I'm glad you appreciated the high-quality and wide variety of performances we host here. Thank you for visiting and we hope to welcome you back to the House again one day. Kind regards, Team SOH

    Magnificent 'sails', Iconic Sydney
    Walked the whole perimeter of the Opera House, Sydney's famous & iconic building. Magnificent 'sails' of the Opera House gleaming in the sunshine - just awe-inspiring. Enjoyed Harbour Bridge impressive views. On Manly ferry, had different stunning vistas from the ocean back towards the Opera House, also gorgeous dusk photos. We haven't been to Sydney in a long while - now revisit; we'll definitely be back soon.. (I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), wear a legbrace.)
    Dear jacquitohc, Thank you for your lovely review. Welcome back to Sydney. We are so glad that you enjoyed your visit to the Sydney Opera House. We couldn't agree more it is awe-inspiring! Walking around the outside and then seeing it from a ferry gives you the opportunity to see it in all its glory from all different perspectives it's almost impossible to take a bad photo! We look forward to welcoming you back soon, perhaps to see a performance. Kind regards, Team SOH.

    Exceptional acoustics and seating, lousy management
    My wife and I and another couple were lucky enough to get the last few seats available for the Chinese National Symphony Orchestra tour at the Sydney Opera House. We sat in what would normally be the choir loft, but let me tell you they were superb seats. I wish other venues would make the effort to put seats there like Sydney Opera House does. The only down side is the restrooms are on the ground level and it’s quite a walk from the choir loft to get there. The concert was supposed to start at 2030, but didn’t till 2045 because they wouldn’t open the seating gates till 2015. No way you can seat that many people in 15 minutes. The concession stands didn’t open till 2020, causing more people to be late.
    Dear JohnWMillsIII, Thank you for your valuable feedback! We agree that those seats in the choir loft are wonderful seats, especially when an orchestra is playing as you'll be facing the conductor. Unfortunately, in a heritage building like the Sydney Opera House it is very hard to make structural changes which make the nearest bathrooms from where you were seated a 5-minute walk to the main Box Office level. During our last renovations more bathrooms were fitted, however the location did not change. As for the opening of the 'seating gates' at 20:15, the Front of House staff need to wait for 'permission to open the House' which is given when the hirer (in this case the Chinese National Symphony Orchestra) is ready. As this was a visiting orchestra from overseas; they might have needed a little more time than usual. We hope you enjoyed your visit and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Warm Regards, Team SOH

    Wow!
    We took an hour tour of the Sydney Opera House yesterday and we are enchanted! The guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about the history and the architecture, knew the inside and out of theatre, concert and opera techniques, sounds producing, acoustics and set up. We learned so much about this fabulous landmark!!! I rarely had such an enjoyable time taking a tour. It was supposed to be a small group (we were 35 to 40!), but it did not matter. Our guide answered all the questions, we entered 4 venues, including the concert hall and the opera hall. We just loved it!
    Dear lynnb509, Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your tour and visit to the Sydney Opera House. We couldn't agree more, our tour guides are world-class and their knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for our iconic landmark is just contagious. We hope to welcome you back soon, perhaps for a performance. Kind regards, Team SOH
