A Glimpse at Australia’s Landmark

The Sydney Opera House, considered to be Australia’s landmark was finished in 1973 and is one of the most wonderful buildings ever made. It is also considered as one of the most unique buildings of the 20th century because it is not your typical opera house. It is the fruit of the artistic minds and experimental interpretation of reality of painters. It is located on Bennelong Point in Sydney, New South Wales in Australia.

The Sydney Opera House is a good venue to hold different musical, theater and ballet productions. It covers 4.5 acres of land that is 605 feet long and 388 feet wide. This opera house is made of the finest construction materials in the world. Its roof is made of shiny white and matte cream self-cleaning Swedish tiles. Its interiors on the other hand are made from pink granite mined in Tarana and the finest plywoods from Wauchope in NSW.

Its facilities include the Concert Hall, the Opera Theatre, Drama Theatre, Playhouse, The Studio, the Uzton Rool and the Forecourt. Conferences and social functions are also held right here in the Sydney Opera House. In fact, this was where the UNESCO World Heritage was held in June 2007.
