Sydney Opera House, one of the
most visited Australian art performing center in Sydney. Sydney Opera House is
the brainchild of Danish architect Jorn Utzon. A design competition was held in
13 September 1995 to determine the best design for the building and 233
architects took part in the competition from 32 countries.
After analyzing all the entries
New South Wales Government selected Danish architect Utzon’s design for the art
complex. John Utzon won £5,000 for the prize and in 1957 he visited Sidney to
help inspect the project. The owner of the art complex, New South Wales
Government started the constructions of the art complex in 1957 and completed
in 1973. Sidney Opera House hosts 1800 performances each year, which makes it
the liveliest performing-arts center in the world. It is one of the famous
tourist attractions in Australia, which attracts 7 million people each year. In
2007 UNESCO declared Utzon’s masterpiece as a world heritage site.
