A tick off my bucket list - The Sydney Opera House is a must see. Attending an opera at the opera house was truly such an amazing experience. I highly recommend it.

remarkable performance - a wonderful experience .the words to the songs were very helpful no problem with the tickets just about the right length of performance use the bathrooms of the restaurant in the intermission on the same floor and no line to deal with if you need a cab after the performance you need to pre book it

Miscasting of role of prince - A good sendup. Great costumes. But no excuse to portray the prince as such an insipid character. Made worse by the fact a woman was cast in the role. What earthly reason for such a decision.

Not kids friendly - I liked it but I would have preferred a play/musical then opera. If it wasn’t for the captions my daughter nor me would’ve u sweat and anything they were saying. I dont think a kid’s story should be an opera. Makes it boring for them. Also didn’t like that the prince was represented by a woman, I understand the LGBT and all that but first should stay away from kids stories and second of all alters the story a bit, did not appreciate that.

Budget performance! - We were disappointed that this was such a low budget production in one of the greatest opera houses in the world! The orchestra was minimal. There was no set or scenery, just a tacky gold tinsel curtain that was pulled back-and-forth across the stage. The singers were OK but not outstanding. The cast and chorus were dressed in street clothes, and barefoot (presumably so they didn’t have to buy shoes.) It was sung in English which was disappointing. I didn’t care for the way Papageno changed the words & character to portray an Australian beach bum. Frankly, our college production was superior this. We expected a much higher standard, especially after spending $350 per seat in the loge section!

A really massive let down - I hope Sydney opera reads this. Like the other reviews mentioned The settings and the scenes were really really lackluster. The orchestra was small and quiet. Yet we still paid the normal price. I assumed that it would be a jaw dropping opera as I expect everything at Sydney opera house to be top notch. Nothing against the singers they were good but everything felt budget especially after seeing “sunset boulevard “ at a fraction of the price. I felt totally ripped off. Also why in the world would you make Prince Charming a female? Both female voices just clash with each other on stage and sound unnatural, zero chemistry. Don’t waste your money on this one, wait for a better performance maybe. Or maybe Sydney opera should make sure of all their performances are decent and of the same quality. We will definitely be reading reviews before coming to the opera house again, won’t make that mistake again

Mozart Rolls Over due to Crappy Set/Stage/Costumes - I was disappointed by the set, the costumes and the lighting...it was the Sydney Opera House but it all looked like a 3rd grader's school play... Such tacky setting, staging and costumes looked like most of the people walked in from outside wearing whatever... Nothing interesting at all.. An old sheet was used as a backdrop or stage separation...ugly! and the dragon was ridiculous! Go and see the Lion King and then you will know how to make light puppets look good... OMG. The lighting was TERRIBLE - i could not believe I was in the Opera House!! What was great was: The musicians and the singers... The rest was KAKA!! You can do better Australia! why? This show doesn't measure up to professional standards... the translation to English was also pretty boring!! Yawn... The singers were awesome... the musicians were awesome but they landed in a pile of crap with the unfortunate set design (if you can call it that), the crummy costumes and lighting... The kids involved were very good... but who wants to be put in such a setting! It cost us much more than $109Aus listed and it was really bad visually... Go see something else at the Opera House... So sad for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart... shameful stage and setting and costumes just were crap.
