Shaped like huge shells built on Sydney's Bennelong Point, the iconic Opera House is a thriving hub of art, culture and history. It attracts millions of visitors from all over the world, photographing and standing in awe of the cultural centre of Sydney. Designed by Jørn Utzon and constructed under some controversy, it was opened in October 1973.
The Opera House is the home to:
- The Australian Ballet
- Australian Chamber Orchestra
- The Bell Shakespeare Company
- Ensemble Theatre
- Musica Viva Australia
- Opera Australia
- Sydney Philharmonia Choirs
- Sydney Theatre Company
Visitors can enjoy lunch and dinner at one of the world-class restaurants around Circular Quay or take a tour of the building, which encompasses theatres, studios, a concert hall, exhibition rooms, and a cinema. One of the best sites to photograph the Opera House is from Mrs Macquarie's Chair in the Royal Botanic Gardens or from a harbor cruise.
