The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who in 2003 received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honor.
The Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007.[2] It is one of the world's most distinctive 20th century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. As well as many touring theatre, ballet, and musical productions, the Opera House is a major presenting venue for Opera Australia, the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony. It is administered by the Sydney Opera House Trust, under the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts.

Opera House carved into front of the McPherson Opera House. The McPherson Opera House was built in 1888 at the cost of $42,000.
National Register #72001452. Added in 1972.
Construction of the New Opera House began in mid 2002. Commencement of the foundations using BarChip Shogun began in 2004.
The new Opera House will be situated partly on land and partly over water. This has significant consequences related to the foundation design, handling of polluted soil, control of moisture and, not least, the building water tightness.
The foundations required some 28,000 lineal metres of piles to act as supporting elements for the building above. The piles vary in length and can reach up to 55 metres below the water surface before meeting stable bedrock.
BarChip Shogun structural synthetic fibre was chosen for this significant project to provide a cost effective solution to the insitu pile reinforcement. BarChip’s high performance and long term durability for combatting the demanding marine environment were critical factors in this decision.
Dosed at 5 kg/m3, 3,000 m3 of concrete was reinforced with approximately 15 tonnes of BarChip Shogun structural fibres.

As part of the Met’s ongoing commitment to making opera more accessible, the opening night performance was once again broadcast to multiple giant screens in Times Square—a tradition begun in 2006, with free seating for more than 2000 on a first come, first served basis.
