Likely to sell-out! The Sydney Opera House Guided Backstage Tour regularly sells out weeks in advance, so book now to avoid disappointment. You'll gain "exclusive access" to areas of the Sydney Opera House normally reserved for staff and performers on a two-hour backstage tour of one of the world's "must-see" attractions. Sit in the orchestra pit, stand where legends have performed, go inside the stars' dressing rooms and hear about the real-life dramas that go on behind the curtain.

Highlights

  • Backstage two-hour tour of the Sydney Opera House, one of the world's most famous performing arts centers
  • Exclusive access to areas normally reserved for performers and staff
  • Private breakfast in the Green Room

Your two-hour backstage tour of the Opera House begins at 7:00am to ensure you can access the "inner sanctum areas", normally reserved for performers and crew and restricted later in the day. After gaining exclusive insights into the inner workings of the famous Opera House, you will head back to the Green Room (closed on Sundays and Public Holidays), the private domain of stars, performers and staff, for a full Australian breakfast with your guide. After breakfast you then have the rest of the day free to enjoy in Sydney.

As a would-be performer on this backstage tour of the Sydney Opera House, you can let your imagination run wild. Imagine:

  • Standing on-stage in the world-famous Concert Hall or Opera Theatre, emulating superstars such as Bryn Terfel, Dame Joan Sutherland and Rudolph Nureyev
  • Striding through the orchestra pit like a maestro, and stepping up onto the conductor's podium, baton in hand
  • Relaxing in the stars' dressing room complete with Steinway grand piano, of course!
  • Exploring the working areas of the Opera House, the domain of stagehands and crew
