Tour of the Sydney Opera House

We took the tour today and had to pay extra to get this photo of us. It was taken in front of a green screen, but I think we look like we're right there! Ha! When we went into this room, we were lucky enough to get to see the symphony rehearsing Tchaikovsky. The guest conductor is some Russian that our tour guide was pretty excited about. I'm not familiar with the big names in the symphony world, but to those of you who might be, his name is Vladimir Ashkenazy. We are in love with this opera house! Saw the Nutcracker last night, going to a play called "The Renegade" tonight and tomorrow we're seeing Handel's Messiah performed in the venue pictured here which holds 2700 people.
