Had a great experience during the backstage tour. Learned a lot about the history of the opera as well as its operations. Strongly recommend.

Did a tour of the Opera House and saw The People's Choice Concert. We went through metal detectors and had to check my backpack. The tour takes you through the theatres of the Opera House as well as going backstage. The acoustics are very good and the views from the lobby are mainly of Sydney Harbour and it is beautiful especially at night.
