Very enjoyable opera experience. Tickets at box office worked well. There are a lot of steps to navigate.

The opera was absolutely fantastic! My best friend told me I needed to see an Opera in Sydney and she was correct. We saw La Traviata and enjoyed the experience. Also there is not a single bad seat in the theater, we were in the balcony and could see and hear perfectly. My mom mentioned that the acoustics were really good. Definitely would go again.

The opera was totally subpar. You sit up in the upper tier. You are pretty high up and it is difficult to see. On the positive side, picking up the tickets was very easy and the venue itself is beautiful. But Cinderella was a really, very juvenile and boring opera that has this quick ending to it which just simply doesn’t work.
