A dining destination
The Opera House is a UNESCO World Heritage listed site, an architectural masterpiece, a community meeting place and a prestigious performing arts centre. From its earliest days, eating and drinking have been part of the cultural experience, and now the precinct has become a dining destination in its own right. As we look back into our archives for this exhibition, you'll see how places, palettes and prices have evolved over the past five decades.
