Bennelong Point, Sydney NSW, Australia
Function Venue
•The Sydney Opera House sits on Bennelong Point, a promontory on the south side of Sydney Harbour. It was named for Bennelong, one of two Aboriginal leaders who served as liaisons between the first British settlers and the local communities in Australia.
Designed by Jorn Utzon and completed by a team led by Australian architect Peter Hall, the Sydney Opera House is an architectural masterpiece. Its iconic roof, shaped to resemble billowing sails, is one of the most recognisable structures in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is one of Australia's most famous landmarks and is its number-one tourist spot. It is also a multipurpose performing arts venue that hosts music concerts, ballet performances, and opera that draw crowds from all over New South Wales and the rest of the country. The 2,679-seat Concert Hall is Sydney's largest venue that regularly hosts symphony concerts and popular music shows. There are three theatres in the complex, all of which can host performances that range from small musicals to large stage productions. The Forecourt is the main outdoor performance area of the Opera House complex. There is also a recording studio and several restaurants within the premises, as well as guided tours where you will hear many fascinating stories about the history of the Opera House and Bennelong Point.

Beautiful, wonderful, very pretty, a wonderful experience. Especially if you're a fan of classical orchestral music. The building's acoustics are very good, you can hear clearly and loudly even from the seats at the back. All seats have a very good view of the stage, and the sound can be heard perfectly from anywhere. Obviously, it was designed for that purpose. The main orchestra hall, especially where the church organ is located, is a must. Prices are not expensive to assist to a concert. We paid around 30 USD for the Braham's Violin Concert. Interesting info: look at the solista violinist Ehnes, He owned a Stradivarius named 'Marsick' that costs around 8 million USD. ;-) The view is incredible, a beautiful view of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Beautiful. Enjoy these photos and videos.
Who wouldn't go and see the famous Sydney Opera House when they're visiting Sydney as a tourist? The day was glorious and we worked up a bit of a sweat walking around, but there were drinking stations. If that's not enough to cool you down, go visit the small souvenir shop inside - it's air-conditioned.
An iconic Sydney landmark you absolutely must go to see. Stunning views, it actually wasn’t so busy even afternoon in the summer. Loads of places to eat and drink or sit and eat an ice cream. Right next to the botanical gardens
The opera house boasts a breathtaking view, a true architectural marvel. Its unique design harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding harbor. The shimmering sails capture the light in a way that is truly captivating. It's a sight that inspires awe and wonder in all who behold it. One can spend hours simply admiring the graceful curves and elegant lines of this iconic structure.
