The world famous Sydney Opera House has been flying the national flag since its somewhat controversial completion in 1973.

Editorial


You don't get to be an Australian icon overnight. But the old dear is more than an architectural wonder. She is also a principal showcase for Australia's most celebrated performing arts troupes. The Bell Shakespeare Company, Opera Australia, Australian Chamber Orchestra and Australian Ballet all have a long association with this prestige venue. Complementing these are the delights of the Sydney Festival along with a roll call of international headliners such as Liza Minnelli, Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed.

In all there are six separate performance spaces including the more intimate but very popular Studio (seats 300) and even smaller multi-purpose Utzon Room, named after celebrated architect, Jørn Utzon. If you have the time it's worth booking in for one of the Opera House tours which detail the architectural history and saucy inside story behind this endearing national icon.

The Sydney Opera House's picture perfect location ensure a selection of fine dinning restaurants and bars, but if you're on a budget a visit to the Sidewalk Cafe or Bistro Mozart won't break the bank.
