A young Danish architect Joern Utzon dreaming of Peter Hall Bennelong Point more than fifty years ago, he take part into a design competition that would put Sydney on the map of the world for endless time. The constructions begun in 1957.
Fourteen troubled years in the building, and AUD95 million over budget, the controversial sail-like roofs of Sydney's most recognizable icon glisten against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour. When Jorn resigned in 1966 due to political difficulties and construction delays - it was finally finished in 1973. The Sydney Opera House is on Circular Quay.
Hosts 4 auditoriums, showing music, ballet, theater and film performances. The Studio is a new venue, which offers contemporary performances. Sunday generally offers the cheapest tickets, although there are a range of prices offered all weekend as well as several free performances.
As I have read the story of this remarkable piece of art, I am very astonished.
From outside the Sydney Opera House looks remarkable and if you get up close you will be able to see several of the million or so ceramic tiles which cover the Sydney Opera House shells. Amazing isn't it? Planning to visit here requires you a lot of money to spend, surely worth it.
