Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House is the iconic performing arts centre located at Bennelong Point in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is not a typical commercial cinema but a multi-venue cultural complex (Concert Hall, Joan Sutherland Theatre, Drama Theatre, Playhouse, Studio, Utzon Room) designed by Jørn Utzon and officially opened in 1973. While primarily hosting opera, ballet, theatre and concerts, the venue also stages occasional film screenings, retrospectives and festival events in its smaller theatres and function spaces. Key venue capacities include the Concert Hall (~2,679 seats), Joan Sutherland Theatre (~1,507 seats) and Drama Theatre (~544 seats). Facilities include box offices, visitor tours, cafes and accessibility services. The building is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major Sydney landmark.
