The Sydney Opera House, like the Eiffel Tower or the Taj Mahal is one of those buildings which is instantly recognisable all over the world.
You may not be aware that rather than one huge auditorium there are actually many theatres within the structure.
A school friend of my sister who I also know well is in Sydney for a few weeks as part of the production team for the Horrible Histories series.
The Awful Egyptians show has sold out throughout its run and as a consequence Nicola is quite busy during her brief stay in Sydney.
She does however make time to meet up with me, and as Stage Manager can invite me backstage so that I can get an exclusive tour of the Opera House itself.
Here is a picture next to her control station at the side of the stage, from which she controls the video and effects involved in the show.
I feel really privileged having the run of the place and cant resist larking about in the theatre.
This is my one man effort at asking for an encore. I also get to see the green room where all involved in the shows can relax and have a drink.
Sadly Nicola and her friend decide that an early night would be best for them as opposed to enjoying a Friday night out in the city with me which is somewhat disappointing. Not to worry though I will save my energy for the main event tomorrow.
