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.

The accessible guided backstage tour is designed for those who have difficulty with stairs. Ours was a small party with one guy in a powered wheelchair. Our two guides were very knowledgeable and looked after us very well. All travel between floors was by lifts. We saw the backstage areas, the small theatres as well as the concert hall and the Joan Sutherland Theatre. As the Joan Sutherland theatre was set up for 'West Side Story' after the tour finished my wife and I went to the booking office and bought tickets for that evening's performance. Bonus!Behind the scenes, informative and worthwhile tour. Cannot imagine how the original designer of the Opera House must have felt when he was removed from the project.

Behind the scenes, informative and worthwhile tour. Cannot imagine how the original designer of the Opera House must have felt when he was removed from the project. His perfect vision had all but vanished. I was so very glad to learn that in his 80's he was asked to make one of the rooms his entire project. He did so without every having seen it. Politics plays such a nasty role across the entire globe, unfortunately. Much to my daughter's and my delight, we had tickets for Carmen the same day as our tour and we were absolutely intrigued and pleased beyond all expectations, knowing the rich history of the Sydney Opera House.Excellent tour. I highly recommend this tour. Steve is a great tour guide and is very knowledgeable of the opera house. The pace was perfect and the breakfast was great to end the perfect tour.

I was however extremely surprised how interesting the tour was. The tour guide was very informative and the hour tour was a great experience that I would highly recommend.
