Getting around the House
Staff assisted access via Stage Door
Staff assistance is required to access some areas of Sydney Opera House.
A staff member at Stage Door will provide lift access to the Opera Theatre, Concert Hall, function areas, Box Office Foyer, Sydney Opera House Store in the Box Office foyer, Bistro Mozart and Guillaume at Bennelong. For Playhouse wheelchair access please also go to Stage Door.
Sydney Opera House staff are happy to provide customers with assistance, however staff are unable to lift or carry customers for safety reasons. We recommend that customers requiring this type of assistance are accompanied by a designated carer. Please note that all individuals (including companions and carers) must have tickets to be admitted into a performance space.
As there is no wheelchair exit at the northern end of the Lower Concourse, Stage Door can be contacted by pressing a customer service button located on the northern end of the Lower Concourse (right side of escalators). A staff member will talk to you through the intercom and will arrange assistance.
Stage Door is accessible 24 hours a day. The Concierge at Stage Door can also be contacted by telephone +61 2 9250 7400 or via email conciergestagedoor@sydneyoperahouse.com.
Unassisted access
An accessible path of travel exists from the ramp on the right side of the southern entrance (Circular Quay side of the site) providing wheelchair access to the Forecourt Concourse, Western Boardwalk (for access to the Drama Theatre, The Studio and Café West) and Northern Boardwalk and to the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The ramp on the left side of the southern entrance (adjacent to the western sea wall) provides wheelchair access to the Lower Concourse (for access to the Opera Bar, Sidewalk Café and Bar, Sydney Opera House Store, Purely Australian Clothing and Costellos of Australia) where an accessible toilet is available.
Direct undercover wheelchair access to the Lower Concourse is also available from the car park.
Please note that wheelchair access exiting from the northern end of the Lower Concourse requires staff assistance.
