The experience is great plus the show was good! The seat was a bit far but it has a good view of the stage and the sound is good

Beyond memorable. Plenty of places to eat before and after the performance. Fantastic views of the harbour and seriously, you can't come to Sydney without going to a performance at the Opera or Concert halls.

Our Australian/New Zealand cruise started & ended in Sydney. We knew we couldn’t leave without seeing & experiencing an opera. La Traviata was playing. The cast was amazing, supported by the Opera Australia Orchestra & Chorus & performed in the majestic Sydney opera house. We were not disappointed!!!
