Sydney Opera House is the symbol of modern Australia and one of the world's most recognisable buildings. Located on Bennelong Point - known to the traditional custodians, the Gadigal, as Tubowgule - the Opera House fuses ancient and modernist influences and is one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world.
This official illustrated history explores the building's unparalleled design, engineering and technological innovation, and tells the complex story of its creation. Drawing on Opera House and government archives, it features original photographs and drawings that span the history of the site on which it stands. Stylishly designed, and bound in cloth, it tells the inside story of a building that transcends its time and transformed a nation.
