Meet at Stage Door

From Opera Bar to Bennelong, wine and dine your way around Sydney Opera House. With your own personal guide, you’ll tour our incredible venues, experience backstage spaces and even the boardroom balcony with Taste of the House.

Embrace your inner bartender at Opera Bar, escorted by your own personal Sydney Opera House guide from Stage Door, start your journey with a cocktail-making class hosted by one of Opera Bar's master mixologists. Learn to craft a House favourite, the Sydney Sling. The DIY fun doesn't stop there with make your own ceviche up next, before taking the time to enjoy your creations. 

Make your way to Sydney's all-day, canteen inspired dining venue for dumplings and wine. Then learn something new and enjoy an open air chef-led class on how to master hand-rolled sushi. The best part? You get to eat it afterwards.

Midden by Mark Olive, our newest venue with an Indigenous Australian inspired menu, will dish up a native rubbed kangaroo fillet with a range of sides, paired with matching wine. We can't think of a better spot for lunch with some of the Sydney's best harbourside views. 

Entering through Stage Door, you will be led through backstage spaces and onto the Boardroom balcony, where you will be served macaroons and Sgroppino, a citrus sorbet palate cleanser with Archie Rose gin and Prosecco as you enjoy the uninterrupted views of Sydney Harbour. 

Last stop is at Bennelong Restaurant for a signature dessert by Executive Chef Peter Gilmore. Indulge in the show-stopping pavlova, inspired by the Opera House sails. This delicious dessert is paired with the Ain't It Fun cocktail of strawberry & coconut infused Ketel One vodka, passionfruit, vanilla and mandarin essence. 

Fancy a last drink? You’re welcome to purchase as you go.
