The Sydney Opera House, a well known symbol of Australia, is recognized as one of the premier performing arts venues in the world.
Designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, construction was completed on the Opera House in 1973. The building, which sits on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbor, was constructed to resemble a ship on the water.
The Opera House contains five main performance spaces, a recording studio, five restaurants and four souvenir shops. The performance spaces include a 2,679 seat Concert Hall, a 1,547 seat Opera House, a 544 seat proscenium Drama Theater, a 398 seat end-stage Playhouse and a flexible Studio space.
