On shores where sapphire waters gleam, A vision rises, a captivating dream. Sydney's jewel, a landmark grand, The Opera House, across the land. Like sails unfurled, in pearly white, It catches sun, and moon, and light. A shell-like form, in graceful sweep, Secrets of music, its walls do keep. Where soaring voices, clear and bright, Fill the air, with pure delight. From opera's drama, to ballet's ...

The Sydney Opera House is one of those places that actually lives up to the hype. The design is just as striking in person as in photos, and the setting on the harbour makes it even more impressive. Whether you’re catching a show or just walking around, it’s a place that leaves an impression. Definitely worth a visit.

Visiting Sydney Opera House was such an amazing experience! I could not have imagined that one day I would visit this amazing piece of art that fascinated me during my university years. Amazing architecture, vibe and history... We got the chance to watch the musical "Sunset Boulevard" and it was just "wonderful".

Typical tourist spot, I went it for the first time! For the house itself, perfect for photo as of the locations. Plenty of restaurants nearby, w/ good view for breakkie. Across the harbour, is the rocks market, which is captivating. Overall, suggest to pick a time from morning to afternoon tea time!

The opera house guided was worth every penny and this is coming from someone who isn't particularly into theatre or classical music or architecture. I probably have the cultural intuition of a spoon. The French lady guide was exceptional, told a great story and made it a pleasure. The rooms themselves are stunning. I'm glad we went on a tour as we had also booked to see a show, but made a mistake...
