Sydney Opera HOuSe
™
Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of late
modern architecture and an iconic building of the 20th
century. It is admired internationally and proudly treasured
by the people of australia. It was created by a young
danish architect, Jørn utzon (1918-2008), who understood
the potential provided by the site against the stunning
backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
The massive concrete sculptural shells that form
the roof of Sydney Opera House appear like billowing
sails filled by the sea winds with the sunlight and cloud
shadows playing across their shining white surfaces.
utzon envisaged it as being like to a Gothic cathedral
that people would never tire of and never be finished with.
Today Sydney Opera House does not operate solely
as a venue for opera or symphony, but also hosts a wide
range of performing arts and community activities. These
include classical and contemporary music, ballet, opera,
theatre, dance, cabaret, talks and large scale public
programs.
Since its opening in 1973 over 45 million people have
attended more than 100 000 performances, and it is
estimated that well over 100 million people have visited the
site. It is one of australia's most visited tourist attractions,
being the most internationally recognized symbol of the
nation. Today Sydney Opera House welcomes more than
8 million visitors and presents around 2400 events a year.
