The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre on Bennelong Point, Sydney Harbour. Designed by Jørn Utzon and completed by Peter Hall’s team after Utzon’s 1966 departure, it opened in 1973. Its spherical-shell roofs are a feat of modern expressionist engineering. It hosts over 1,800 performances yearly for more than 1.4 million people—and attracts over ten million visitors annually. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. Its legacy is split: iconic form, fractured authorship.
