The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, Australia. Located on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, it is widely regarded as one of the world's most famous and distinctive buildings and a masterpiece of 20th-century architecture.
Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, but completed by an Australian architectural team headed by Peter Hall, the building was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20 October 1973, 16 years after Utzon's 1957 selection as winner of an international design competition. The Government of New South Wales, led by the premier, Joseph Cahill, authorised work to begin in 1958 with Utzon directing construction. The government's decision to build Utzon's design is often overshadowed by circumstances that followed, including cost and scheduling overruns as well as the architect's ultimate resignation.
The building and its surrounds occupy the whole of Bennelong Point on Sydney Harbour, between Sydney Cove and Farm Cove, adjacent to the Sydney central business district and the Royal Botanic Gardens, and near to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The building comprises multiple performance venues, which together host well over 1,500 performances annually, attended by more than 1.2 million people. Performances are presented by numerous performing artists, including three resident companies: Opera Australia, the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. As one of the most popular visitor attractions in Australia, the site is visited by more than eight million people annually, and approximately 350,000 visitors take a guided tour of the building each year. The building is managed by the Sydney Opera House Trust, an agency of the New South Wales State Government.
On 28 June 2007, the Sydney Opera House became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, having been listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate since 1980, the National Trust of Australia register since 1983, the City of Sydney Heritage Inventory since 2000, the New South Wales State Heritage Register since 2003, and the Australian National Heritage List since 2005. The Opera House was also a finalist in the New7Wonders of the World campaign list.
Excerpt from the plaque:
Primalphabet-Geographics, 1976 by Guy Ducornet: This diptych was commissioned for the Schmon tower in 1976. At that time it was called the Library Tower although it was only partially occupied by the University’s Library.
Artist and part-time instructor Guy Ducornet was excited by the idea of creating a work for a structure which, in his fertile imagination, could have appeared in Jorge Luis Gorges’ story, The Library of Babel. He envisioned two pages from an imaginary encyclopedia: Primalphabet is an alphabet of our own science and Geographics describes the evolution of time and space.
At that time there was no fine art program at Brock. He taught numerous drawing, painting and art history courses between 1975 and 1993. At first he taught in whatever rooms were available, using homemade easels and treating the whole campus as a studio. Ducornet was convinced that Brock could offer a comprehensive art program, with training provided by professional teachers and artists. A program was established in 1977. Today the Visual Arts Department flourishes within the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts and rest on the foundation set by the imagination of vision of people such as Guy Ducornet.
Guy Ducornet lives and works in France. He has a scholarly grounding in Esistentialism and Surrealism, and is an internationally recognized artist, writer, translator, poet, jazz musician as well as ceramicist in the tradition of Japanese masters.

The Sony Centre for the Performing Arts is a major performing arts venue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and it is the country's largest soft-seat theatre. The building opened as the O’Keefe Centre on 1 October 1960, and it has hosted a variety of international attractions and stars.
The theatre, designated a heritage building by the City of Toronto, underwent renovations to restore its iconic features such as the marquee canopy and York Wilson’s lobby mural, The Seven Lively Arts. Restoration of the wood, brass and marble that were hallmarks of the original facility was undertaken, along with audience seating, flooring upgrades, new washrooms and reconfigured lobby spaces. Following two years of renovations and restoration work, the Sony Centre reopened its doors on 1 October 2010, fifty years to the date of the first opening night performance.
