Sydney Opera House
The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in
Sydney,Australia. It is one of the 20th centurys most famous and distinctive
buildings.
Designey by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, the building was formally opened
on 20 October 1973 after a gestation beginning with Utzons 1957 selection
as winner of an international desing competition. The government of New
South Wales, led by the premier, Joseph Cahill, authorized work to begin in
1958 with Utzon directing construction. The governments decision to build
Utzons desing is often overshadowed by circumstances that followed,
including cost and scheduling overruns as well as the architects ultimate
resignation.
The building and its surrounds occupy the whole of Bennelong Point in
Sydney Harbour , between Sydney Cove and Farm Cove, adjacent to the
Sidney central Business district and the Royal Botanic Gardens, and close by
the Sidney Harbour Bridge.
