Intermission at the Budapest Opera House on the occasion of Mozart's 250th Birthday, marked with a performance of Don Giovanni
Sydney Opera House is a modern expressionist design, with a series of large precast concrete "shells", each composed of sections of a hemisphere of the same radius, forming the roofs of the structure, set on a monumental podium. The building covers 1.8 hectares of land and is 183 metres long and 120 metres wide at its widest point. It is supported on 588 concrete piers sunk as much as 25 metres below sea level.
The roofs of the House are covered in a subtle chevron pattern with 1,056,006 glossy white- and matte-cream-colored Swedish-made tiles from Höganäs AB, though, from a distance, the shells appear a uniform white.
For plant lovers
Springtime’s magnificent displays of early flowering magnolias, camellias, rhododendrons and azaleas are a sight to behold. Summer’s warmth brings out the glorious fragrance of hundreds of roses and the colourful blooms in the herbaceous borders. Autumn transforms the colours of the many mature and award-winning trees in the Grade II* listed landscape. The Garden is dotted with seating and areas where you can simply sit in peaceful contemplation and let the world pass by.
For explorers
Warren Wood and Stephanie’s Glade come alive in the spring with huge flowering rhododendrons overhanging carpets of bluebells and wood anemones. The woodland and parkland contain numerous rare and exotic trees, many of them ‘champions’, planted by Colonel Stephenson R Clarke who sponsored the great plant hunters to travel all over the world in the early 20th century. Please note that the uneven terrain is unsuitable for wheelchairs.
The Opera House was donated to the Danish state by the A.P. Moller and Chastine Mc-Kinney Moller Foundation in August 2000 (A.P. Moller was a co-founder of the company now known as Maersk). Some politicians were offended by the private donation, in part because the full cost of the project would be tax deductible, thus virtually forcing the government to buy the building; but it was accepted by the Folketing and the government in the autumn of 2000. It was designed by the architect Henning Larsen and engineers Ramboll and Buro Happold and Theatre Consultant Theatreplan. The acoustics were designed by Arup Acoustics and architectural lighting design by Speirs and Major Associates. A.P. Moller had the final say in the design of the building, however, adding steel to the glass front, among other things. Construction began in June 2001 and was completed on October 1, 2004. It was opened on January 15, 2005 in the presence of M?rsk Mc-Kinney Moller, Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and Queen Margrethe II.
The tenor Placido Domingo made a gala guest appearance as Sigmund in Wagner's Die Walkure on April 7, 2006 (production by Kasper Bech Holten). The performance was attended by Queen Margrethe II. - wiki

This stunning building sparkles in the sunlight and is shaped like the helmet of an ancient goddess.
