The Sydney Opera House is one of the most recognisable buildings in the world. Fusing ancient and modernist influences and situated on a site sacred to the Gadigal people for thousands of years, it is Australia’s premier tourist attraction, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site and one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world. While the tale of The Sydney Opera House is one of breathtaking triumph, it is also one of personal cost. Its Danish architect, Jørn Utzon (1918–2008), left Australia midway through construction and never returned to see his masterpiece completed – a building that, according to Frank Gehry, ‘changed the image of an entire country’.This souvenir guide traces the history of this extraordinary building – one that is synonymous with inspiration and imagination – through a beautifully realised combination of photography, text and quotes.

Sydney Opera House is the symbol of modern Australia and one of the world’s most recognisable buildings. Located on Bennelong Point – known to the traditional custodians, the Gadigal, as Tubowgule – the Opera House fuses ancient and modernist influences and is one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world. This official illustrated history explores the building’s unparalleled design, engineering and technological innovation, and tells the complex story of its creation. Drawing on Opera House and government archives, it features original photographs and drawings that span the history of the site on which it stands. Stylishly designed, and bound in cloth, it tells the inside story of a building that transcends its time and transformed a nation.
