Sydney Opera House-Australia








The multi-venue performing arts center that hosts more than 1,500 performances a year was built in three stages beginning in 1955 and ending in 1973. Danish architect Jorn Utzon received 5,000 pounds for his design idea. The Sydney Opera House is home to Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, the Sydney Theatre Co. and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
The Sydney Opera House is located at 33°51'25?S, 151°12'55?E in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is one of the most distinctive and famous 20th century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world. Situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, with parkland to its south and close to the enormous Sydney Harbour Bridge, the building and its surroundings form an iconic Australian image.
