It was opened by Queen Elizabeth IIin 1973, fourteen years after the construction started. The Opera House is the Bennelong Point, on the edge of a port where formerly a tram depot was. The building contains not only an opera but also three other concert halls, restaurants and bars. One posits this work to the Expressionism. The construction triggered any problems on but eventually went anyway. Utzon has, however, dropped out during the construction process and has never been in the building. One building had originally estimated at 3.5 million Australian pounds ($ 7 million) and the delivery date on 26 January 1963 (Australia Day). The project was so yielded ten years too late, while the final cost $ 102 million were, with which the budget was exceeded more than fourteen times.

The Sydney Opera House is to become the symbol of Sydney, such as the Eiffel Tower for Paris. The building was also nominated for the election of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

In May 2009 the British musician Brian Eno designed an audio-visual installation that is projected on the opera house. 77 Million Paintings is the name of the ever-changing color and form experiment. ==Outside[ Edit] == Detail of the fallsThe roof consists of 1.056.000 tiles in white and shades of gray, specially imported from Sweden. The tiles are laid down in a particular pattern. Under the tiles are ribs which are interconnected with cables with in between a kind of concrete lids.
