Situated on Bennelong Point near the Botanical Gardens and Circular Quay, The Opera House is an architectural marvel. It was included in the National Heritage List in 2005, and inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2007.
Designed by renowned Danish architect Jørn Utzon and constructed under some controversy, it was opened in October 1973. The Australian Opera’s production of War and Peace by Prokofiev was its first performance.
Since then, Sydney Opera House has been a cultural haven. It is home to the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Opera Australia, Sydney Symphony, Sydney Theatre Company, The Australian Ballet and many more. With over 40 shows a week, locals and tourists can have their fill of art, dance, music and
theatre.
