Sydney Opera House
Sydney Opera House was opened in 1973 Since then It has appeared on Tshlrts, postcards, in books, on travel programmes and In millions of photo albums Thanks to its unique shape, Sydney Opera House IS one of the most photographed buildings in the world l
The building was built by a Danish architect called Jorn Utzon. Utzon gave the building ItS unusual look by creating a roof which looked like palm tree fronds Work first started on the Opera House in 1957 The Australian government gave Utzon $7 million and just four years to finish it. Unfortunately, there were lots of delays as well as money problems, so the Opera House wasn't actually finished until 1973 By then the total cost of the bUilding was over $100 million'
Today the Opera House is one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world. It has around 3,000 events every year which are watched by over two million people There are five main concert halls used for a wide variety of performances including classical, opera, pop and Jazz Artists as different as Pavarotti and the pop group INXS have performed there, and the largest hall can seat 2,679 people.
If you want to see a concert however, you'll need to book in advance - the best seats are hard to get and they're very expensive' But whether you go to a concert or not, a visit to Sydney wouldn't be complete
without a trip to the Sydney Opera House
Read the text and answer the questions.
1What is unusual about the Sydney Opera House?
2How long did the Opera House take to build?
3What problems did Jom Utzon have?
4What type of artists have performed at the Opera House?
