Discover spaces and places normally hidden from the public, as you explore unseen backstage areas where performers like Julie Andrews, Bob Dylan and Prince have all gone before. In your intimate group, follow your tour guide and get ready to see first-hand what the Sydney Opera House stage crew and performers get up to side-of stage, including a trip to the orchestra pit and private dressing rooms.

Alan was awesome and explained well all the bits of the opera house, allowing us time to enjoy, take pictures and soak in the views.

I’d been dreaming of visiting the Royal Opera House since I was a little boy - so, maybe 50 years! We chose to do the backstage tour as there wasn’t anything on that we fancied watching. An early start is required to get to the Opera House for 6.45am! I forget our tour guides name but she was great. We got to see an amazing amount of ‘behind the scenes’ areas - several stages, musicians pit, green room, scenery areas and so on. Slight disappointment in not seeing inside the big stars changing rooms..and it all ended up with a very decent breakfast in the Green Room with all of us chatting until we were kicked out. Top tour! I think it was $175 a head which I thought was ok.

Linda, our guide, was so passionate and knowledgeable about Sydney Opera House it was impossible not to enjoy the backstage tour. We viewed lots of spaces and were given so much information about how all the venues within the opera house building work. So many steps to climb! Breakfast at the end was a feast. Fabulous on all counts. 🤣🤣🤣

Early start at 6.45am. Met guide ( lovely lady but sorry can't remember her name) at stage door. Very pleasant and welcoming . Set off in a small group to visit various theatres, back stage rooms and other areas not normally in public domain. Guide was very informative, cheerful and had that knack of making everyone feel involved. After tour had breakfast in the Green Room ( where actors/ actresses and directors etc normally congregate Very enjoyable . (Massive almond croissants.). Had opportunity to direct from the pit 👍and tinkle on a Steinway if you wanted. The tour is quite expensive but we'll worth it.

This small group tour was in-depth and adventurous! it was really cool to stand above, below, behind and ON the Joan Sutherland stage and the Concert Hall stage. After the tour, we enjoyed a lovely lunch in the cafe (included) and then proceeded to the Box Office where we had the opportunity to purchase symphony tickets for later the same morning. For us, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to then sit in the audience knowing that just minutes before the concert, we stood on that very stage.
