What To Expect

Sydney Opera House

Arrive at Stage Door for this backstage experience, and join an intimate tour group to begin your exploration. Experience first-hand what it’s like to walk through Stage Door where thousands of actors, performers and famous names have walked before. Get ready to explore places usually off limits to the general public to find out how the magic of theatre happens. Relish the opportunity to get a glimpse into the demanding, passionate, dramatic (and sometimes scandalous) world of our performers – as our guides recount the stories and insider secrets of what really happens behind the curtain. From pulleys to props, sequins to sound-checks, we take you through nooks and crannies not known to the public. Discover what makes the Sydney Opera House both a world-renown icon and a world-class performance venue. Complete the experience with a delicious breakfast in the Green Room - the exclusive domain of our crew and performers.

Wonderful opportunity to experience various areas/rooms in the Opera House. Our guide, Alan, was very knowledgeable about the history of the Opera House and explained various parts of the stages and many components of the architecture of the building. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Sydney!
A huge upgrade over the standard tour.

The tour brought us onstage, backstage, and a chance to experience the iconic Opera House from the performers’ and crews’ perspective. Our guide, Steve, was particularly knowledgeable of the technical and performance history. Even the included breakfast exceeded our expectations. If you have any theater background, or want more than the audience’s experience, this is clearly the way to tour the landmark institution.
