Iconic Australian masterpiece |
Bennelong Point (Circular Quay) Sydney, NSW 2000 +61 (0)2 9250 7111 http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com |
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. Danish architect Jorn Utzon has reportedly never laid eyes on his masterpiece, resigning in 1966 due to political difficulties and construction delays—it was finally finished in 1973. It now has an impressive yearly program of up to 3,000 contemporary and classical performances and is a truly memorable place for theatre, opera and ballet. Various guided tours operate daily from 9a-5p. Cost: Adult AUD22; Seniors/Students/16 & Under AUD16. Review © 2009, Wcities |
