Sydney Opera House – An Australian Landmark
Australia is easily among the most popular tourist destinations around the world, offering travellers everything from a vast wilderness to explore, and wonderful modern cities teeming with culture. As a huge country that is sparsely populated yet is among the first ranks of the developed nations, Australia is a land of contrasts. The wilderness of the outback populated with dangerous and exotic animals is a shart contrast to the cosmopolitan nature of cities like Sydney and Melbourne.
Sydney is home to over 4M people – a significant portion of Australia’s population. It is a beautiful city with much to do and a lot to see. You could take weeks and still not fully explore this magnficent city, but there is at least one sight you just have to see.
That sight would be the Sydney Opera House. A landmark that is as famous and intrinsic to the city as New York’s Statue of Liberty, the Opera House ranks constantly among the most photographed destinations in the world and is considered among the seven modern wonders. The Opera House was designed as an emobidement of Australia and all that Australians stand for – boldness, strength, passion and a lust for life. Its architecture, thoroughly unique and evocative, invokes these very same qualities.
What adds to its charm is its location. Situated at the edge of the Sydney Harbour, it offers a breathtaking view of Sydney and is a photographer’s dream come true. At night, it lights up the entire coastline and is a sight to behold.
Once you are through admiring the architecture of the building, you may want to step inside to see some of the world’s best opera singers perform live. As one of the premier opera houses in the world, it frequently stages some terrific productions.
Whatever you do, if you visit Australia, make sure that you at least catch a glimpse of the Sydney Opera House. It will bring out your inner talent for photography and give you memeories worth cherishing a lifetime.
