Opera house inside - We had a fabulous tour of the interior of the opera house. We were able to go inside and sit in the large performance hall. Our guide was very complete in describing the architecture design and explained how it enhances the function.

Its a cool expirence but dont expect pictures isnside of the actual theaters - This is a must do. Only thing that was slightly annoying was you cant take picutres in any of the theaters because there were bands/opera practices. There was absolutly nothing interesting during their practices as its small quick snips... If you charge for a tour you should be able to get picutres of tthe expirence.

Incredible tour of the opera house. - Great tour. Saw both primary auditoriums but that depends on the rehearsal schedule and individual conductor. If booked, checked back as positions open up.

.Outstanding Sydney Opera House Guided Tour - Reserve early for English speaking tours as they book quickly. Fortunately we were booked early enough to get our desired time. The tour guide gave us receivers and headphones to hear him clearly during the tour. We were able to see the two main auditoriums (out of six). Be prepared for a LOT of stairs! Our guide initially said there were not many stairs, but there are a lot. They do provided a limited mobility tour. The interior is very impressive and beautiful.
