Sydney Opera House

 

Sydney Opera House is considered one of the wonders of the modern world and one of the world's greatest architects. Located on Sydney Harbor, New South Wales, Australia, the building is described on the Australian Government's own website as an architectural icon of the 20th century. The opera house is perhaps an international icon these days. The irony of the opera house story is that the maker never saw it after completion.

In 1957, Danish architect Jorn Utzon won a competition to design the Sydney Opera House. One of the jury members described Utzon's design as a work of genius. The opera house was opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1973, but Utzon was not invited to the ceremony - nor was his name mentioned during the speeches. He never returned to Australia and never got to see the famous building he had made. The opera house can even resemble a butterfly when illuminated with colored projections.

The Opera House is Sydney's most famous landmark. The opera house is a multipurpose performing arts facility. It is a multipurpose performing arts facility whose largest venue, the 2,679 seat concert hall, hosts choral performances, symphony concerts and popular music shows. There are also three theaters of different sizes and configurations for plays, film screenings, smaller musical performances, opera and dance performances, including ballet. In 2007, the Opera House was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Opened in 1973, the Sydney Opera House hosts more than 1,600 performances a year in its concert halls and theaters, from opera to comedy shows. Even for incredible digital light shows such as Vivid Sydney, the largest festival of light, music and ideas in the world.
