Sydney Opera House

The Opera House took 14 troubled years to build at a cost of $102 million – $95 million more than was anticipated. The short fall was met by lotteries. The Opera House has never been visited by its Danish architect Jorn Utzon, who resigned half way through the project following a clash with the Minister of Public Works.

 

It opened on the 20th October 1973.
