Home to some of Australia’s premier performing arts companies such as Sydney Symphony, Opera Australia and the Australian Ballet, Sydney Opera House presents a diverse range of performances from some of the world’s best artists as well as showcasing up-and-coming talent. In June 2007, Sydney Opera House was formally recognised as one of the most outstanding places on Earth with its inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is now listed alongside other universally treasured places such as the Taj Mahal, the ancient Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Wall of China.
In addition to presenting the very best in performing arts, Sydney Opera House also offers visitors a range of unique experiences, such as High Tea at Sydney Opera House. An afternoon of decadence which leaves guests breathless, High Tea at Sydney Opera House features sublime food from Michelin trained culinary maestro Guillaume Brahimi and an exhilarating performance, close up and live, by some of the world’s finest opera singers.
High Tea at Sydney Opera House has quickly established itself as one of Sydney’s hottest tickets, offering a fresh perspective on the concept and adding that special Sydney Opera House magic, the thrill of live performance. For those visitors wishing to delve a little deeper into the workings of Sydney Opera House, the Backstage Tour is just the ticket.
How about following in the footsteps of superstars such as Dame Joan Sutherland and Pavarotti by singing on the stage of the world-famous Concert Hall, or striding into the Opera Theatre orchestra pit before stepping up onto the conductor’s podium? The Backstage Tour offers all of the above and much more, conducted by experienced guides who share some of the secrets of the House and stories of the real-life dramas that happen behind the curtain.
