Opera House Tour


Opera House Tour 2

We did loads more stuff when my parents were here, one day we went on a tour of the Opera House that was really cool...

We got to go in all the different theatres, the small part where they show dramas, the part where they do the operas and then the mian area where they do the concerts - it was really good and our guide was pretty cool too...

There is a really interesting story behind how the opera house was built and how the orginal architect fell out with the politicians involved in the project. Well after this dispute the architect, who was Danish, left Australia and has never been back. So he's never seen the opera house wit his own eyes! Madness!

Anyway he is back involved in some renovations they are making to the structure inside so its a happy ending. Was pretty interesting, highly recommended for any visitor to Sydney.
