Information On The Sydney Opera House

Perhaps the number one most recognizable landmark in all of Australia is the Sydney Opera House. This building isn't one of the oldest landmarks in the world, but it is one of the most notable. The information on the Sydney Opera House may surprise you in that this building has only been in existence since 1973. When compared with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty it seems very young indeed.

The building is located at Bennelong Point on the harbour. Here you will also see the breathtaking Sydney Harbour Bridge, another top tourist attraction. The building was designed not by an Australian, but a Danish architect named Jorn Utzon. Utzon designed the opera house to resemble a sailing ship, which fits perfectly with its position on the crystalline blue waters of the Sydney Harbour. The first performance that took place in the building was War and Peace by the Australian Opera. Speaking of the Australian Opera, they are only one of the many groups that call the opera house their home base. Others include the Australian Ballet and Bell Shakespeare Company.

There are always fabulous events going on at the opera house. For example, right now some exhibitions include Le Grand Cirque, Tales from the Vienna Woods and The Government Inspector. The opera house hosts thousands of events each year and gives hundreds of thousands of guided tours. If you want the full experience, it is recommended that you not only take in some events at the opera house but also sign up for a guided tour which takes around two hours. On the tour you will get to see behind the scenes and learn more about the history and heritage of this stunning facility.

You can learn more information on the Sydney Opera House at their website. There you can also buy tickets for the various events and learn about upcoming events. Some people even choose to host special events like weddings and meetings at the opera house. This building is also home to some incredible restaurants such as Guillaume at Bennelong, the Opera Bar, the Sidewalk Cafe and Bar, and Bistro Mozart. Each of these fine establishments has something delicious to offer visitors and guests. Theater bars are also available approximately one hour prior to an event and offer beverages and refreshments.

Today's Tip On Australia

Without a long history of immigration, Australia wouldn't be what it is today. Europeans brought their pioneering spirit as they searched for gold in the 1800s, the 1900s brought an influx of Asian immigrants and the new millennium is poised to be a period of skilled worker migration. In Australia, you will find one of the most multicultural workforces in the world. English is the primary language, yet over 200 languages are spoken and 25% of the population was born outside the country, when compared to the 10% foreign-born population in the US or 17% in Canada.
