tcad1 Posted November 15, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Sorry; Sydney Opera House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted November 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2005 You can book through the Opera House's own website, but irritatingly it's down at the moment so I can't even see what's on. Typical Murphy's Law, actually - I was surfing it for a more casual reason a couple of days ago but never got as far as looking at availability for the dates that I was interested in (end Jan/early Feb), so can't even give you a steer on that at the moment.

Globaliser Posted November 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Operas on in February (all sung in Italian with English surtitles):- Madama Butterfly February 1, 4, 11, 14, 17, 22, 25 (Evenings at 7.30pm) Falstaff February 3, 8, 15 (Evenings at 7.30pm) February 11 (Matinee at 1pm) The Elixir of Love February 2, 7, 10, 18, 21, 24 (Evenings at 7.30pm) February 4 (Matinee at 1pm) The bad news: Booking doesn't open for single performances until 26 November, as its currently subscription sales only. However, I'd be surprised if there was absolutely nothing left when booking opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcad1 Posted November 16, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Thanks for the info! Are there any brokers that sell the tickets besides the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted November 16, 2005 #7 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I don't know, but there's probably little point if you're able to book when booking opens. Although I haven't been to the Opera House for some years, I don't get the impression that performances sell out months in advance, as many shows still feature in mass advertising a few days before the show. And having run a test, you can still get tickets for this coming Saturday evening's ballet, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
