As per the previous answers, it appears to be the case that you can purchase tickets online. We didn't and it wasn't crowded at all. You see the entire Opera House except the concert hall, which is being renovated. However, in my opinion, it is well worth seeing still. And, there is a mini performance after the tour, which in itself is worth the price of admission. The Opera House is on the Hop On/Hop Off (Citytours) bus route, so it's very easy to get there if you have a ticket with them. And their tour is worth the price of admission. But note, get started early in the day as the buses stop running at 5 p.m. Although there is a night bus that starts running at 7 I believe. Plus Hop on/off includes a boat ride up around Margaret Island and back.

The main opera house will not be open until spring or summer 2020. We were there in May abd our guide said construction is behind schedule. You can tour the main stairs, the buffet lounge, the smoking room, and another hallway now. At the end of the tour, 2 singers will sing short arias and duets. This tour takes about 45 minutes
