A huge number of different performers from all over the world perform in the theater, among them a tradition has arisen to kiss the wall before a performance, but only the most worthy and great among them are honored. This excursion is conducted only once a day. You can get to know all the beauties of the theater with an excursion going through its bowels at 7 o'clock in the morning, that is, at a time when the Sydney Opera House is still dormant and its walls are not disturbed by sonorous and loud performances. But if many people recognize the theater immediately, seeing it from the outside in a photo or on television, then not everyone will be able to answer with confidence what kind of building it is, examining its decoration from the inside. The Sydney Opera House has very recognizable shapes that resemble giant sails.
The roof covering consists of 1.056.006 pieces of white tiles and tiles with a matte cream shade. For the construction of this unique complex, piles were driven into the ocean floor of Sydney Bay to a depth of 25 meters. For normal operation, the theater needs as much electrical energy as would be enough for a city with a population of 25 thousand people. It was originally planned to complete the project in 4 years, but due to difficulties with internal finishing work, the opening moment was significantly delayed. The theater took 14 years to build and cost Australia about $ 102 million. Until 1958, a tram depot was located on the site where the opera house now stands, and even before the depot - a fort. Opened by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1973, the Sydney Opera House is becoming one of the most important attractions in Australia, refusing to visit which would be an unforgivable mistake.
