Sydney Opera House

You are here Home  > New South Wales  > Sydney >  Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House was designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon and built over a 14-year period. It was finally completed, way over budget, in 1973. The Opera House is one of Australia’s two internationally recognised urban landmarks (the Harbour Bridge is the other) and is widely recognised for its unique design and imposing position overlooking the harbour at the tip of Bennelong Point. The Opera House has four auditoria and features ballet, classical music, theatre and opera performances. Front of house tours run frequently but backstage tours run less often and need to be booked in advance.

    There are a lot of things to see and do here... HIGHLY recommend taking a walking tour of the Opera House. It is such an iconic thing to see and feel while inside. Enjoy!

    If you want a fun evening with good food and live music, visit the Opera Bar at the base of the Opera House.

    The guided tour here is great, with a great balance of technical and historical. Lovely clarity from the guide over headphones giving a real sense of both the amazing story behind it a working venue.

    Was in complete awe when I saw it and walked the steps. I recommend going early in the morning when no one else is around truly magical feeling.

    Ein tolles Gebäude, sollte man auf jeden Fall besichtigen, die Architektur ist was Besonderes. Was man mit dem Architekten gemacht hat, ist allerdings nicht so schön.

    We enjoyed the show here. Got some seats in the middle of the first section of the 2nd tier. Just close enough to enjoy. We can see how the seats to the sides can be fun too.
