Sydney Opera House 50 years
in 1973 I was a young Architectural student working in a studio that was part of the consortium formed after Utzon and the NSW Govt parted ways. In 1973 before the official opening a " live sound test" was required - so all the construction workers consultants etc were invited to the first live performance in the Concert Hall. At the time I never appreciated the importance of that moment. There was much going on the end of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War (American War if you are Vietnamese) a change of government - free University Education !! .. So far I have done over 100 ( 112 to be approximately precise) sketches of this building and i will continue to sketch it.
Happy 50th !!
