Getting There

The Sydney Opera House has great public transport options: take the bus, train or ferry to Circular Quay and it's just a 5 minute walk. Visit the Transport Infoline for timetable and fare information. If you do want to drive, Wilson's Sydney Opera House Car Park is located at the northern end of Macquarie Street with vehicular access adjacent to the Forecourt. Opera Australia subscribers are offered a discounted parking rate. Being a public car park, spaces may not always be available, and please note that the car park closes at 1am.

Restaurants and bars

There are loads of high quality venues around Circular Quay and at the Opera House. For views of the Sydney Opera House itself, the nearby Aria restaurant is a great choice, offering a sophisticated and relaxed setting to start your evening. Opera Australia Subscribers enjoy special offers at Aria, as well as at the iconic Sir Stamford, Circular Quay, in Macquarie Street.

If you really want to make a night of it, book a table at Sydney Opera House's flagship restaurant, Guillaume at Bennelong, run by Sydney chef Guillaume Brahimi.

Opera Kitchen brings together some of Sydney's best known names in a casual al fresco setting - sushi and sashimi at Kenji, Vietnamese at Misschu, Cloudy Bay Fish Co., Charlie & Co. Burgers and Bécasse Bakery. Or visit the famous Opera Bar for a drink and some delicious Australian cuisine: there's a pre-theatre menu served from 5pm.

Inside the Box Office foyer there's Bistro Mozart (also run by Guillaume Brahimi) which serves superb meals prior to performances. Plus the Theatre Bars, located in the Northern and Southern foyers of the Sydney Opera House, showcase unrivalled views of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Farm Cove as well as the harbour. Pre-order your drinks on arrival for the interval so you can avoid the queues. Both Theatre Bars offer spacious indoor and outdoor areas.
