Our recent Sydney contest was so successful, we are bowing to popular demand with a second Sydney contest just in time for Australia’s summer high-season!
This time we’re offering 2 free tickets on a Sydney Opera House backstage tour! The Opera House is one of Sydney’s iconic landmarks – you’ve seen its distinctive sail-shaped roof on countless television shows and films.
Sydney's iconic Opera House - get the inside tour
This top-rated Opera House tour gets you exclusive access to areas normally reserved for the stars and their crew. You will visit the backstage areas of one of the busiest performing arts centers in the world. Stand on the Concert Hall stage where some of the world’s performing legends (such as Dame Joan Sutherland, Michael Bublé, Pavarotti and – yes – even Australian Idols have stood).
Backstage at the Opera House
Take up the conductor’s baton in the Opera Theatre orchestra pit. Peek inside the stars’ dressing rooms. And hear about the secrets and real-life dramas that go on behind the curtain. This exclusive backstage tour includes a full breakfast in the Green Room – private domain of performers and staff.
How do I enter the contest?
Simply leave a reply for this post below to enter our “Sydney Opera House Backstage Pass” contest. Like we did last year, we want you to answer one simple question: “Why should Viator give YOU backstage passes to the Sydney Opera House?”
Entries must be submitted by January 15, 2010. Winners will be announced on January 19, 2010.
Of course, there is a catch! We are only accepting replies that are 10 words or less! That’s right, answer the question “Why should Viator give YOU backstage passes to the Sydney Opera House?” in 10 words or less, and you could win 2 free backstage passes* for the Sydney Opera House.
You can enter our contest as many times as you like, but remember, your reply must be 10 words or less or it will not be considered. Also note that these tickets are non-transferable and cannot be sold or redeemed for any cash value.
