The roofs of the House are covered with 1.056 million Swedish-made tiles, glossy-white and matte-cream in color. Its power supply is equivalent to that of a town of 25,000 people and is distributed by 401 miles of electrical cable. It is supported by 580 concrete piers sunk up to 82 feet below sea level. The Opera House covers 4.5 acres of land and is 605 feet long and about 388 feet wide at its widest point. The Sydney Opera House is an expressionist modern design, with a series of large precast concrete "shells," each taken from the same hemisphere, forming the roofs of the structure. It is administered by the Opera House Trust, under the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts. It is also famous for lengthy delays in its completion, huge cost overruns, and a stormy relationship between designer and client which led to Utzon's resignation from the project in 1966 before its completion.Īs well as many hosting well-known touring theater, ballet, and musical productions, the Opera House is the home of Opera Australia, the Sydney Theater Company and the Sydney Symphony. Situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbor, with park land to its south and close to the equally famous Sydney Harbour Bridge, the building and its surroundings form an iconic Australian image. Opened in 1973, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site as of June 27, 2007. Designed by Jørn Utzon, a Danish architect, the Sydney Opera House is one of the most distinctive and famous twentieth-century buildings. The Sydney Opera House, located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, is one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world. Concrete frame & precast concrete ribbed roof
