Just being in this beautiful opera house is a treat in itself, but this performance was simply one of a kind! The highlight for me was the cherry blossoms falling all over the stage and the appearance of a toddler in the evening program—everything felt so authentic

Very special evening. We were staying in Sydney for 4 nights and this coincided with a performance of Madame Butterfly at the Sydney Opera House. So having undertaken the summit walk of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the morning, I went with my wife to the opera in the evening. Making it a very memorable day. The scenery, costumes and performance were exceptional. My only criticism was the price and the rather uncomfortable seat.

The tour guide, Freda, was delightful. She treated everyone with respect and provided a nice tour for our group. We were mostly on our feet but there were also times when we could sit. The Opera House itself is an amazing structure. This tour is well worth the time and money. Also, the free meal was a bonus. We ate ours before the tour to avoid the dinner rush.

This was my first opera ever. It was a fabulous experience in a beautiful venue. We walked into the opera house to see people dining, enjoying beverages and shopping.
The staff was friendly, gave excellent directions and we were able to find our way so easily. Our seats were great!!
I really liked how there were monitors on each side of the stage as well as subtitles above for the balcony.
Exiting the theater was easy as it is spacious enough for a crowd to move about.
