The Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of modern
architecture, and one of the most celebrated buildings of the
20
th
century. Set against the stunning backdrop of Sydney
Harbor, its shells appear like billowing sails filled by the
sea winds. Since its opening in 1973, the Opera House has
become one of the world’s busiest performing arts centers,
welcoming over 8 million visitors a year and staging almost
2,000 performances annually.
