Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House is Australia's pre-eminent cultural center. Famous for its cutting-edge architecture, the building's series of white-tiled sails jut into the harbor at Bennelong Point, perched on a platform of pink granite. The iconic structure was designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, and Australians have been divided about its design ever since it opened way over-budget in 1973.

Recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the opera house has a range of venues under its sails, including the large Concert Hall, Opera Theatre, intimate Playhouse, and Drama Theatre. As well as attending a concert or play at the Opera House, one of the best ways to explore this iconic building is on a guided backstage tour of the famous stages, studios and technical areas.

Other must-do activities include afternoon high tea with operatic accompaniment, award-winning French food at the Guillaume at Bennelong restaurant, or drinks with harbor views at the outdoor Opera Bar.

Practical Info

Bennelong Point is lapped by the waters of Sydney Cove and Farm Cove. Circular Quay’s ferries, trains and buses are less than a five-minute walk away. Unless you’re visiting on a guided tour, visitors are unable to access the Concert Hall and Opera Theatre foyers, or performance spaces.
