Inside the Sydney Opera House: Our Tour of an Australian Icon

Walking up before going inside the Sydney Opera House
Sydney Opera House

There is something magical about the Sydney Opera House on a sunny day, with its sail tiles glistening against a blue sky. This was our third trip to Sydney Australia, and the first time we had gone inside the Sydney Opera House.

It wasn’t to see a show. Although, we were quite tempted to see My Fair Lady directed by Julie Andrews. Instead, we opted for a tour inside one of the world’s most recognisable buildings.

The Syndey Opera House is an engineering wonder, a UNESCO world heritage site, and nothing short of spectacular.

Designed by Jørn Utzon and opened by HRM Queen Elizabeth II in October 1973, today, the Sydney Opera House is one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world. We are just two of the 8.2 million visitors expected this year.

Before going inside the Opera House

The land on which the Sydney Opera House is built is known as Tubowgule, which translates to  “where the knowledge waters meet.” It is the land of the Gadigal Clan, and therefore, we began our tour by honouring Aboriginal protocol and acknowledging the Custodians of this Gadigal country.

Our first stop inside the Sydney Opera House was the lower Colonnade, home to three theatres: the Playhouse, the Studio and the Drama Theatre. Of the three theatres, we were only able to enter the Studio, and no photos were allowed inside.

Too bad, as it’s an impressive theatre used for a huge variety of events, from a Coldplay recording session to an APEC round table conference.

We quickly discovered on the tour that many areas of the building are off-limits as they are in use, either holding rehearsals, in a live performance, or they simply have a proprietary decor on display for a current or upcoming production.

However, we did get into a few theatres and halls, learn about the history, and discover the attention to detail in foyers and other public areas.

Photo opportunities inside the theatres were infrequent. The foyer photos were fine. There are nine large windows in the Colonnade. The angled window wells (shown below) make the windows appear larger and cut down on glare.

Inside the Sydney Opera House concert hall

Getting inside and learning about this striking concert hall was the highlight of my tour inside the Opera house. The hall’s total capacity of 2,700 people includes up to 700 on stage. The concert hall design amplifies instrumental sound and produces incredible acoustic tones.

White birch wood used for the walls as well as the seats also enhances the acoustics. The lit glass saucers over the stage raise or lower to distribute the best sound. The organ displays 138 pipes in front and over 10,000 pipes in the rear, making it the world’s largest mechanical tracker-action pipe organ.

We were the last tour group to get into this hall for the day, as rehearsals began as soon as we left.

PRO TIP: Schedule your tour as early as possible during the day, before many theatres are in use.

Booking your tour early in the day gives you the best shot of seeing more.

Amazing views from foyers inside the Sydney Opera House

We visited the foyers of several of the other theatres, each with unique features and views.

Used before performances and at intervals (intermissions), foyers are also often the main party hire (rental) venue.

Looking at the foyer from another angle, we can see the boxwood structure around the concert hall.

Sydney Opera House outside tiles

Finally, we headed outside for a closer look at the one million Sydney Opera House tiles that make up the iconic sails. The tiles are not all the same. To create the effect, they used two colours and seven varieties of tiles, with both shiny and matte finishes.

Two colors and seven varieties of tiles, with shiny and matt fisnihes were used to build the Sydney Opera House. Approximately 1 Million tiles in total were used.

Viewed from the Sydney Harbour Bridge

The day after our tour, we explored more of the city. This included a walk across the Harbour Bridge, one of the many things to do for free in Sydney.

Not the heart-pounding adrenaline walking tour over the top, but a gentle walk on the footpath on the same level as the traffic.

As we approached the other side, I captured a different view of the most famous opera house in Australia.

What you need to know before going inside the Sydney Opera House 

  • The one-hour tour that we took is available three times daily. Reserve your guided tour here.
  • If you are visiting Sydney as a cruise port, check out this shore excursion guided tour of the inside of the Opera House. 
  • Or enjoy an immersive experience and take in an opera show.
  • Our tour highlights were getting into the concert hall and the Studio, learning a bit of the opera house’s history and discovering how smoothly the three sails work together.
  • There are plenty of restaurants surrounding the Opera House, and several must-eat foods in Sydney.

Save on your Australia trip with these resources

We usually start with aggregator companies as they do the work for us by providing a list of options, prices, and reviews. However, we also added a few personal NZ favourites:

  • Flights: we use Expedia for the best and cheapest flight options.
  • Hotels: we use Booking.com as they consistently return the best rates and their reviews are from actual guests. However, for self-contained lodging in Australia, we use VRBO
  • Cars and Campervans: we use RentalCars to find the best deals and dealer ratings. Use Jucy for small campervans.
  • Activity discounts: we always check Bookme.com for discounts of up to 70% on selected tours, activities, restaurants and more.
  • Travel Insurance: we start at InsureMyTrip as they are the best option to compare plans and find the right coverage for you.

Before you book the rest of your trip: Check out our travel resources page for more companies that we use when you travel.

We believe this list to be the best in each category. You can’t go wrong using them on your trip too.

    Jutting out into the water on that spit of land, it’s hard to miss the exterior. You can see it from so many of the tourist areas in the city, plus the main ferry terminal. Fewer people get inside.

    I love the photos of the opera house, and the idea of My Fair Lady directed by Julie Andrews (really?), but you got my full attention when you said you love yacht racing. As a participant or a spectator?
    When I took my young brother, who was then 14, to visit Australia in the 70s, we did see a play at the opera house, but my favourite part of the whole trip was the day we booked to go out on a sailboat and she turned out to be the prize-winning America’s Cup racing yacht Gretel, on her first day as a tourist day-sailer. One of the original crew was aboard that day and I spent a lot of time with him while my young brother learned about all the fixtures aboard a racing yacht.
    Sigh.
    Thanks for the memories.

We’ll go then. I would do this tour, because I love all things architecture. I might have to see a show, though. I’ll have to plan that one just right wont’ I?

    We really enjoyed our tour of the Sydney Opera House. I was so familiar with how it looks from afar but the close up view and the insides were a revelation. We did see a children’s glow-in-the-dark puppet show in one of the smaller theatres whilst we were there. The other memorable moment was when my daughter accidentally knocked over a display of Swarovski topped pencils in the gift shop. Many of the crystals popped off, and I ended up having to buy (at cost) over $100 of damaged pencils. About 25 pencils, in case if you were wondering.

    I had no idea the place was so big nor that it had so many different theaters. I’m stunned about the 700 on stage and the 10k organ pipes. My mom was an organist and would have love playing it or even just seeing it! Am I awful that I think it’s a bit rude to be force-fed aboriginal history and traditions upon entrance? If they did that with Native Indians in the US, I’d be resentful. Like maybe they originally owned Manhattan Island, but they participated in nothing that was built or is there now. If I was touring a reservation or Indian museum, I’d expect to learn about them, but just because land once belonged to you shouldn’t give you a say in how it’s used or force visitors to learn about your history.

      I think the big difference is that the native Americans sold the Manhattan to Europeans, where in the case of Australia (and New Zealand) the European’s stole it. Now there is a push in both countries for political and cultural sensitivity.

    I have been to an Opera, many ballets, concerts and plays over the years at the Opera House but never done a tour. If you are ever in Sydney again and decide to see a show, take my advice and don’t just see a play. The drama theatres are underneath the main building and not nearly as impressive as the concert halls.

As for honoring the Aboriginal protocol because the Opera House is built on the land of the Gadigal Clan, it seems kind of funny if you ask me. It’s like us having to honor the Indian protocol because Las Vegas casinos are built on Indian territory (LOL!)

    When we were in Sydney we sat on the stage at the Concert Hall to listen.

    So that’s what it looks like up close and personal. I’d love to see it from the inside!

      When you come and visit me in New Zealand, you can add a trip to Australia and check it out for yourself. Sydney is one of my favourite getaway destinations.

    View of the Opera House from walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is so beautiful and every time I see a picture about Australia, the Opera House is in the background especially if the photo is taken from the Harbour Bridge. Maybe some day I’ll see for myself. See it Rhonda.

      The opera house is an icon, and probably the most recognisable symbol of Australia.
