First time inside the Opera House, the architecture is stunning ! The view of the harbour and passing ferries is also unparalleled. The singers were good especially the mezzo who shines more brightly than the rest. Sadly, there were too many uncivilized buffoons around opening packets, giving running commentary and playing with their phones during the performance which blighted the experience.

It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The performances were beautiful and powerful, and the atmosphere was amazing. I especially loved hearing some of my favourite opera pieces performed live. It was my first time experiencing opera like this, and it left such a strong impression on me. I enjoyed every moment and would definitely love to see another opera performance.

It was a fantastic introduction to opera. The singers and the pianist were wonderful, and it was great to recognise quite a few of the pieces they performed. The venue was perfect and it was great to see that no one had their phones out!

This performance was a great surprise. I loved the interaction of the performers with each other and the audience. Their singing abilities were excellent. And this comes from someone who loves music but was hesitant on operas.

First, to attend an operatic concert performance in the iconic Joan Sutherland theater at the Sydney Opera House was a truly memorable experience. Then the performances of the arias were thoroughly enjoyable and the artists plus accompanist gave it their all. Particular kudos to the contralto who stepped in at the last moment as the billed artist was unavoidably indisposed. The booking process was faultless and all of the staff were efficient in enabling us to access and depart the venue with no hindrance or fuss.

Atmosphere from the crowd was amazing. Everyone was on their best behaviour. The interval was nice couldn't wait to get back to it l. Then performance was exceptionally of high standard as OPERA always. Id definitely do it again. I met a great friend which we have the same interests. The performers were in ladies great frocks and the men in dinner suits, which really made the audience look and keep our attention. I enjoyed the subtitles that was in a screen very close and was easy to read.
