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.

5.00Would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in seeing the behind the scenes workings of the Opera House. Michael was a great guide, he shared his knowledge on the history of the Opera House and some of its unique peculiarities. We were able to see behind the scenes of the Opera House, the concert hall, the drama theater and some dressing rooms. The breakfast at the end was also very delicious. Overall a great tour that the whole family enjoyed.
Amazing Tour!
