6. Description
 The Sydney Opera House is a modern expressionist
design, with a series of large precast concrete
"shells", each composed of sections of a sphere of
75.2 metre (246 ft) radius, forming the roofs of
the structure, set on a monumental podium.
 The building covers 1.8 hectares (4.5 acres) of land
and is 183 metres (605 ft) long and 120 metres
(388 ft) wide at its widest point. It is supported on
588 concrete piers sunk as much as 25 metres
below sea level.

7. Description (Continue)
 The power supply is equivalent for a town of 25,000
people and distributed by 645 kilometers of
electrical cable.
 The roofs are covered with 1.056 billion Swedish
glazed tiles mineral creamy-white, though from a
distance the tiles look only white.
 The theater's opera and concert hall are the two
largest groups of shells and other theaters are on
the sides of the shell groupings. The interior of the
building consists of pink granite.

10. Construction history

Planning for the Sydney
Opera House began in the
late 1940s, when Eugene
Goossens, lobbied for a
suitable venue for large
theatrical productions.

11. Stage I: Podium
Stage I commenced on 2 March 1959, monitored by
the engineers and partners. However, Utzon had
still not completed the final designs.
Major structural issues still remained unresolved.
By 23 January 1961, work was running 47 weeks
behind, because of unexpected difficulties.
Work on the podium was finally completed in
February 1963. The forced early start led to
significant later problems, not least of which was
the fact that the podium columns were not strong
enough to support the roof structure, and had to be
re-built.

12. Stage II: Roof
From 1957 to 1963, the design
team went through at least twelve
alterations of the form of the
shells trying to find an economically
acceptable form before a workable
solution was completed.
In mid-1961, the design team
found a solution to the problem: the
shells all being created as sections
from a sphere. This solution allows
arches of varying length to be cast
in a common mould, and a number of
arch segments of common length to
be placed adjacent to one another,
to form a spherical section.

13. Stage III: Interiors
The cost of the project so far
was still only $22.9 million less
than a quarter of the final $102
million cost. The second stage
of construction was progressing
toward completion when Utzon
resigned. His position was
principally taken over by Peter
Hall, who became largely
responsible for the interior
design.

14. Completion and cost
The Opera House was formally
completed in 1973, having cost $102
million.
Stage I:podium approximately $5.5m.
Stage II: roof shells approximately
$12.5m.
Stage III: completion The Hornibrook
Group $56.5m. Separate contracts: stage
equipment, stage lighting and organ
$9.0m. Fees and other costs $16.5m.
The original cost estimate in 1957 was
£3,500,000 ($7 million). The original
completion date set by the government
was 26 January 1963 (Australia Day). The
project was completed ten years late and
over-budget by more than fourteen times.

15. Opening
The Opera House was formally opened by
Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia, on 20
October 1973, with a large crowd in
attendance.
The architect, Jorn Utzon, was not invited to
the ceremony, nor was his name mentioned.
The opening was televised and included
fireworks and a performance of Beethoven's
Symphony.

16. Reconciliation with Utzon
Beginning in the late 1990s, the Sydney Opera House Trust
began to communicate with Jorn Utzon in an attempt to
effect a reconciliation and to secure his involvement in
future changes to the building.
In 1999, he was appointed by the Trust as a design
consultant for future work. In 2004, the first interior
space rebuilt to an Utzon design was opened, and renamed
"The Utzon Room" in his honour.
In April 2007, he proposed a major reconstruction of the
Opera Theatre. Utzon died on 29 November 2008. A state
memorial service, attended by Utzon's son Jan and
daughter Lin, celebrating the creative genius of Jorn
Utzon was held in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall on
25 March 2009 featuring performances, readings and
recollections from prominent figures in the Australian
performing arts scene.

17. Reconciliation with Utzon
(Continue)
On Tuesday 17 November 2009, Sydney Opera
House officially opened the refurbished Western
Foyers and Accessibility improvements, the largest
building project completed since Jorn Utzon was re-
engaged in 1999.
Designed by Utzon and his son Jan, in collaboration
with Richard Johnson of Johnson Pilton Walker, the
project has transformed the Western Foyers into a
stylish and functional space providing patrons with
additional amenities including new ticketing, toilet
and cloaking facilities. Importantly, new escalators
and a public lift have vastly improved access for less
mobile visitors, people with a disability and families
with prams.

I chose the Sidney Opera House because I
think is a very beautiful building and an
amazing place which is used for a lot of
types of entertainment, like opera, theatre
and others. Finally, it is something very
special.
