Great Visut to Iconic Theatre
Derek C,Dec 1, 2024
5.0Inside view of the Opera House with an excellent guide giving lots of historical and contemporary information. Bit of walking and dtep climbing so maybe not suitable for the infirm. A full 1 hour trip using earphones so you don't miss out. Photos are generally allowed unless people are working on the stage or putting up staging covered by copyright. We really enjoyed it.
Great tour

5.0Very detailed tour. There was a lot about the opera house we did not know, including just how expansive it really is inside. Highly recommended.
Not to be missed!
