The Opera House was easy to find and booking tickets went smoothly. However, the show was not what we expected as there was only 2 singers on stage. On arrival both the foyer and the upper floor were crowded and as first time attendees to the theatre we had difficulty finding the auditorium, and a staff member somewhat unhelpful.

Fantastic show but facilities totally inadequate and amateurish for the interval. This is not a smear on the caterers btw who were making a fantastic job against all odds. I was really surprised that this is the pre- show or interval offering AFTER the refurb. Who on earth thinks this is adequate? I believe the Opera House holds 650 paying customers?

The staff were very unhelpful and didn’t allow dining it wasn’t a production it was an ABBA tribute band! You were not allowed to dance!

Absolutely excellent experience. I’ve been twice since the new opera house opened! From the politeness of the staff in the booking office to the staff greeting you on arrival’s just a pleasure. The theatre’s very comfortable. You make my evening enjoyable, many thanks👏

We went to see Ocean Colour Scene. Lovely place, very intimate and well finished. Staff were helpful. Didn't use the bar so can't comment.

How many years was JOH closed and they still have a terrible bar with staff that are extremely slow and barely any soft drink options. Remind me not to come back.
