The shows are good, but also the excellent old style building. And I appreciate that it is near the metro. Not too long shows. A beautiful experience for all ages.Full review by NorthStar29836295435

Would recommend to first time travellers - very historic yet maintained to a good calibre. Tour guide gave much detail about the theatreFull review by So10aar
Hi! If I purchase tickets on an earlier day, how early do I need to arrive on the day of tour? Are there bag checks? Do I need to arrive earlier than the indicated 3/4pm? Thank you!
A:
No bag checks but I’d arrive 15 minutes before your slot ;-)
For the guided tours of the opera house, is it possible to book tickets online in advance?

As per the previous answers, it appears to be the case that you can purchase tickets online. We didn't and it wasn't crowded at all. You see the entire Opera House except the concert hall, which is being renovated. However, in my opinion, it is well worth seeing still. And, there is a mini performance after the tour, which in itself is worth the price of admission. The Opera House is on the Hop On/Hop Off (Citytours) bus route, so it's very easy to get there if you have a ticket with them. And their tour is worth the price of admission. But note, get started early in the day as the buses stop running at 5 p.m. Although there is a night bus that starts running at 7 I believe. Plus Hop on/off includes a boat ride up around Margaret Island and back.
Will the Opera House be open for visitors on September 9-19, 2019?
A:
The main opera house will not be open until spring or summer 2020. We were there in May abd our guide said construction is behind schedule. You can tour the main stairs, the buffet …
The main opera house will not be open until spring or summer 2020. We were there in May abd our guide said construction is behind schedule. You can tour the main stairs, the buffet lounge, the smoking room, and another hallway now. At the end of the tour, 2 singers will sing short arias and duets. This tour takes about 45 minutes
