ESSENTIAL
OPERA HOUSE TOUR
50 years ago a young Danish architect, dreaming of Bennelong Point, designed a masterpiece which pushed the boundaries of creativity and science - and put Sydney on the map forever.
See inside the world's most recognisable sails.
Experience this miracle of architecture and engineering.
A work of art that came into existence against impossible odds - to become one of the busiest performing art centres in the world. Working with a new enriching, interactive audio-visual component, where images are projected onto the fabric of the building - our guides will take you on an emotional journey, engrossing you in a story to rival any opera plot with its dramatic twists and turns.
You'll visit one of the major venues - where they stage live performances every day. Some 1,500 performances, in every genre you can imagine, are staged each year to audiences of around 1.5 million.
You will be inspired.
