One of the most distinguished and famous buildings of Jørn Utzon, the building is one of the most iconic structures of modernist architecture with its expressive forms made of concrete. The multi-venue performing arts centre was officially opened in 1973. Located on the banks of Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Opera House was designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon and completed by an Australian architectural team led by Peter Hall. The extensive upgrade included the refurbishment of its concert hall, enhancement of acoustics for artists and audiences, improvement of functionality and accessibility for visitors and audience for better mobility needs and safer venue.

Officially opened in 20 July, the overhaul is the largest and final project of the Opera House’s Decade of Renewal, comprising a ten-year program of renovation works totalling almost $300 million to upgrade the World Heritage-listed masterpiece ahead of its 50th anniversary in 2023. The Sydney Opera House has reopened its largest concert hall after an extensive period of renovation, which has started in 2015, with a five-year design process and a two-year construction in Sydney, Australia.
