A wonderful look at spaces you normally can't just walk in and see. The history of the Opera House, the challenges faced and overcome, the amazing way it all comes together for the many performances - especially using the backstage lift for scenery... it was all wonderful. Michael was a knowledgeable guide with great stories. We were fortunate to have him share his perspective with us. And breakfast in the Green Room was delicious.
Wonderful tour
