Visit to Opera House

Opera House is one of the best places that you should visit when you are in Australia. It has a very nice structure. It is a multi-venue performing arts center that was built by Danish architect Jorn Utzon. It has a Concrete frame & precast concrete ribbed roof. Inside it has a Concert Hall, Opera Theatre, Drama Theatre, Playhouse, Studio, Utzon Room and Forecourt.

Outside the house, you've got a good breeze coming from the sea. On the other side of the place is a bridge.

The Harbour bridge was built and opened in 1932. Locally nicknamed "The Coathanger" or "Colin", it was built by Dorma Long and Co, Ltd.






One time during a Music Festival and House Music Competition, I was able to get inside the House and watched the contest for free. This is a yearly contest of high school students divided into groups called 'house'. Each house will prepare their own musical piece or rendition of an existing piece. It is like a speech choir done by students in the Philippines.
