The Opera House is located in Sydney on Bennelong Point
overlooking the Harbour Bridge. The Opera House has its origin
from Eugene Goossens, the Director of the Conservatorium of
Music of the New South Wales State; it was in the late 40s that
he suggested this idea. In 1954 he got the help of Premier
Joseph Cahill, who asked for designs for the opera house. It was
also the idea of Eugene Goossens to build the Opera House on the
Bennelong Point; Joseph Cahill wanted it to be near the Wynyard
Railway Station. There has been a competition organised to find
the best designer. Jorn Utzon, a Danish architect has been
selected for the project of the Opera House. There are different
guiding tours organised to let visitors visit and learn more
about the Opera House. There are walking tours to make visitors
discover the architecture and history of this fascinating
building. There are also visits inside the Opera House where you
will have the chance to stand on the stages of the theatres of
the Opera House. |
