Sydney Opera House Guided Tour

Tour the Sydney Opera House with a guide. Learn about its history and hear behind-the-scenes stories. See the grand interiors and the unique architecture of the exterior. Step onto the stage and imagine performing there yourself.

This informative tour will teach you all about the history of the Sydney Opera House, and how a Danish man's sculpture on Sydney Harbour changed the course of twentieth-century architecture. To quote legendary architect Frank Gehry: *“(it) changed the image of an entire country.”* Enjoy an hour-long architectural experience and hear how visionaries, architects, engineers, artists, idealists, and pragmatists worked together in order to create this cutting-edge masterpiece, a true triumph of architecture and engineering.

Attend *The Merry Widow* at the Sydney Opera House. Laugh, watch romance, and hear the music. Enjoy Art Deco costumes and dance numbers. Follow the widow and her fortune as it impacts high society. Listen to waltzes and witty conversations.

Attend a performance of *Rigoletto* at the Sydney Opera House and witness its lavish 1950s Italian staging. See a live orchestra concert with world-class opera performers. This presentation interprets Verdi’s classic opera with innovative design featuring period-inspired costumes and sets. Observe the unfolding story of a father, his daughter, and the duke, conveyed powerfully through the music and staging of this production.

All of this happens by the harbour.
