Sydney Opera House

Description

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 3000 contemporary and classical performances and is a truly memorable place for theatre, opera and ballet. Various guided tours operate daily from 9a-5p.

Sydney travel

By MyDriveholiday, 3/9/10

Ah what a nice place. Love the urban setting and the dining experience. Best with the sunset setting so would recommend a visit November - Feb. After Opera house, you can also drive the coastal Sydney to Batemans Bay and meet the friendly locals (best on a campervan). affordable campervans at MyDriveHoliday Australia

G'day Mate!!

By andrea, 9/6/09

We took a trip to sydney Australia in June 2008. It was GREAT! We enjoyed all the sights of the city. The opera house, bondi beach, and riding on the wrong side of the road. I hope so much to go back one day!!

sydney 07

By DorainH, 11/12/07

It looks not that big from the outside, but when you go inside its very big. The main theater is unbelievably large. With other smaller theater areas in it too. A place you must go and see when you are in Sydney

Maybe the most beautiful harbour in the world

By Babis E, 7/17/07

Blue sky, nice water, modern tecnology in a package. Don't miss a boat trip. Visiting the opera at night is also a must. I hope be there again some day.

Fun Tour

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/12/07

I went on the first tour of the day at the Opera House. It was great to see the inside and the tour guides are extremely knowledgable about the building and the shows. Since it is a working building not all areas are always open for tour and ironically I did not get to see the concert hall where the Opera performs. I did see three of the other venues: two theaters for plays and the largest of the concert halls. The tour only lasts an hour and if you can get a concession ticket(students, seniors) go for it. It will save you 50% off your ticket.
