Discover the story behind Australia's number one tourist destination – which welcomes more than 8 million visitors a year – and where 1000 workers of 32 nationalities laboured between 1959 -1973.
The Sydney Opera House is a tale of staggering technical challenges, political advantage, and bitter recriminations. Inside, you'll find facts about a feat of imagination, a concrete clash of budgets and artistic vision, and a construction site where hardhats, shorts and sandshoes were the safety standards of the time.
A blend of perfection and practicality – paid for by lottery tickets gladly bought by the public for more than a quarter of a century – The Little Book of Sydney Opera House presents one of the greatest civic monuments of the 20th century.
'So many opera houses look like boots. Utzon has solved the problem.'- Sydney Morning Herald 'The stage was set for one of the most accidental, random, and astonishing acts of architectural patronage of modern times.'
