Opera House???? URGENT!!!!!!!!!!?

1. it is an iconic building that makes people around the world immediately identify anything linked with it as being from Sydney or Australia.

2. It is one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world with about 3000 events every year.

3. For performers world wide, having a gig at the Sydney Opera House is a statement that you have "made it".

4. Its construction caused a lot of controversy (cost, design, manner in which it was built, the shabby way its original architect was treated) that still continues today.

5. The structure was a tour de force of architecture and construction that likely will never be replicated again. It is probably for this reason that the building is the youngest structure to ever have been added to the World Heritage Listing.

6. It is a focal point that gets used even in events unrelated to the arts. For instance, during the 2000 Olympics its forcourt area was the start and finish line for the Triathlon events. It was also a major facet of the logo used for games.

Its currently one of our most elegant theatres for stage shows which come from all around Australia, and the world.
