About Opera House Sidney

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts center on Sydney Harbour located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is one of the 20th century's most famous and distinctive buildings.

As one of Australia's most popular visitor attractions, the site is visited by more than eight million people annually, and approximately 350,000 visitors take a guided tour of the building each year. The building is managed by the Sydney Opera House Trust, an New South Wales State Government agency.

On 28 June 2007, the Sydney Opera House became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, having been listed on the Register of the National Estate since 1980, the National Trust of Australia register since 1983, the City of Sydney Heritage Inventory since 2000, the New South Wales State Heritage Register since 2003, and the Australian National Heritage List since 2005. The Sydney Opera House includes a number of performance venues.

There is no doubt that the Sydney Opera House is his masterpiece. It is one of the significant iconic buildings of the 20th century, an image of great beauty that has become known throughout the world – a symbol for not only a city but a whole country and continent.

The Sydney Opera House opened the way for the immensely complex geometries of some modern architecture. The design was one of the first examples of the use of computer-aided design to design complex shapes. The design techniques developed by Utzon and Arup for the Sydney Opera House have been further developed and are now used for architecture, such as the work of Gehry and most reinforced concrete structures. The design is also one of the first in the world to use Araldite to glue the precast structural elements together and proved the concept for future use.

The Sydney Opera House was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia, on 20 October 1973.

In the late 1990s, the Sydney Opera House Trust resumed communication with Utzon to effect a reconciliation and secure his involvement in future changes to the building. In 1999, he was appointed by the Trust as a design consultant for future work
