The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, Australia and is one of the most distinctive and famous 20th century buildings. It is also one of the world’s most famous performing arts venues and since its opening, it has become a symbol of Sydney. Designed by Danish architect Jo/rn  Utzon, it reaches out into Sydney Harbour and its spectacular roof reminds us of a moving ship at full sail! Construction began in March 1959 and it was completed in 1973 at a cost of $102 million! It is very large (183m x 120m) and it is supported on 580 concrete piers sunk up to 25m below sea level. The roofs of the House are constructed of 1,056,000 white granite tiles and the interior is composed of pink granite and wood. It has about 1,000 rooms, 5 theatres, 5 rehearsal studios, 2 main halls and a multitude of restaurants, bars and souvenir shops. What you may not be aware of is that you’ve

probably seen this breathtaking structure featured in films such as "Mission Impossible II", "Independence Day", "Finding Nemo" and many more!
