opera house


The Sydney Opera House is not only an iconic symbol of Australia but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, its construction was completed in 1973 after 14 years of work. The building is renowned for its unique use of a series of gleaming white sail-shaped shells as its roof structure, making it one of the most photographed buildings in the world. It hosts over 1,500 performances each year, including ballet, opera, theatre, and symphony concerts, attracting millions of visitors from around the globe.
