The "Architecture in Detail" series comprises books that focus on individual buildings noted for their exceptional character, innovative design or technical virtuosity. Each volume contains a text by a respected author, a sequence of colour and black-and-white photographs and a set of technical drawings and working details. One of the best-known buildings of the late 20th century and perhaps Australia's most potent landmark, the Sydney Opera House, with its white shell-like forms, is inextricably linked with the image of Sydney itself, a city celebrating its success as a venue for the 2000 Olympic Games. |

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Opera Australia is the principal opera company in Australia. Based in Sydney, its performance season at the Sydney Opera House runs for approximately eight months of the year, with the remainder of its time spent in the The Arts Centre in Melbourne. In 2004, the company gave 226 performances in its subscription seasons in Sydney and Melbourne, attended by more than 294,000 people. Like most opera companies, it is funded by a combination of government money, corporate sponsorship, private philanthropy, and ticket sales. The proportion of its revenue from ticket sales is considerably higher than that of most companies, approximately 75 per cent. |

Jorn Utzon referred to his Opera House as a kind of "cathedral", analogous to a Gothic church in the way that light and movement play across its public spaces. Its complex shell-like roof structures echo Gothic arches in section, but the building breaks with all precedent in its three-dimensional form. Finding a practical solution to the construction of these roofs occupied the architect and the engineer Ove Arup for many years and necessitated considerable experimentation with pre-cast concrete technology. Disputes with his client led to Utzon's resignation and the Opera House looked for a time as if it might be a white elephant. This book looks at the building that since its opening in 1973, after a 16-year gestation, has already become an Australian national icon. |
