📼Video Summary:
The Sydney Opera House is in Sydney, Australia. It's located on Bennelong Point, but to the Gadibal People it's also known as Tubowgule or Dubbagulle. It was designed by Jørn Utzon and the building was completed in 1973. There are 3 separate structures - the Concert Hall, Joan Sutherland Theatre, and Bennelong Restaurant. There are also smaller venues underneath such as the Utzon Room, Drama Theatre, Studio, Playhouse, and Yallamundi Rooms. You can access most of these room through the Box Office Foyer or Western Foyer. Around the Sydney Opera House you'll find the Broadwalks, Monumental Steps, Forecourt, Circular Quay, and Sydney Harbour.

I'd seen this masterpiece of architecture in so many different movies and tv shows, and always wondered how they fit a concert hall inside those crazy-looking sails! I'd never thought there were so many different venues inside! Fantastic explanation, animation, and music / sfx.

We like building our Arts centres down into the ground. Arts Centre Melbourne is another example of that. A couple of bits of trivia: The concert hall and theatre were originally swapped, with the theatre space being the larger part. This has made the theatre space challenging over the years as it's considerable smaller stage compared other Australian major venues. Sets are often designed specifically for the space or modular so when they tour, one module is excluded in Sydney. The loading dock mentioned is only a recent addition. Previously trucks drove around the western concourse and into the harbour side of the building (known as the central passage). This restricted the times of day shows could load in and out.

[@overkillphil514]

When I went in 2004 the tour guide told us that all of the paving stone steps were the same size as the chairs in the theatres. The chairs were made of a material that had the same acoustic absorption as a human body, so empty or full the theatre would have the same acoustics for everyone to hear.

I'm 62, from Sydney, and have spent most of my life here. I remember the long saga of the SOH being built (paid for by a lottery), and the opening in 1973. My parents were at the first opera ever presented there, Prokofiev's War and Peace in 1973, almost exactly 50 years ago. (You can find video of that production on YT.) I've seen productions in all the venues, and it's interesting how they've changed - the Playhouse started out as the Music Room (for chamber music), for a while it was the Australian Film Institute's cinema, then became the small live venue it is today. The Studio was originally the Recording Hall. Also - there was originally almost no parking! You parked a mile away at the big Domain Parking Station and got a shuttle bus, even if you were in a tuxedo for an opera first night. My dad (an engineer) said the two main halls were really wooden buildings inside concrete sculptures - he hoped that one day the NSW Government would see sense, and rebuild the SOH to put opera in the large hall where it belonged.

[@shinyagumon7015]

I didn't know there where this many venues inside the opera. Probs to the sound insulation for keeping all these from interfering with eachother.

[@JaredOwen]

Yeah - lots of stuff in there! Part of the recent renovation was to improve the acoustics inside

Wow, great job. I was born and bred in Sydney (I'm 62 and can still remember the official opening in 1973 by the Queen) and have been to many productions in both halls over the years.

He went to London with Governor Phillip and it is said he was introduced to the King , George III. When he came back to Sydney, Governor Phillip built a house for him on Bennelong point where the Opera House stands today. His biography is on Wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennelong?

3:37 "Large deliveries" is technically true, but in theatre it's pretty normal for the scenery and technical gear to be transported by truck, so it's a pretty crucial part of the building, no loading dock means no shows in the opera house

[@jkelley012]

Hi Jared; loved the video! I've spent plenty of time at the SOH and loved your breakdown! On the first day of winter here, I can confirm that the Forecourt hosts concerts even in colder weather. A few details: the Concert Hall has 16 acoustic petals, not 12. As well as bouncing back the sound to the audience; they do a much better job at making the sound audible on stage than the previous solution (a set of transparent donuts or halos hanging above the stage)! The Western Foyer is also called the Colonnades. All in all loved the video - great job!

[@JaredOwen]

Thanks for the feedback Jonathan!

[@prismaticmarcus]

very nice job. a large part of the reason the architect quit was because the client (the government) decided to swap the locations of the concert hall and opera theatre, this decision was made AFTER the backstage areas (underneath) had already been built, therefore had to be demolished, and they weren't going to give him more time and money to do this.

A couple of notes from an Opera House employee: Portside was renovated into a new restaurant called Midden, serving Indigenous inspired cuisine and a very good way for visitors to learn about traditional cuisine and food culture. The Joan Sutherland Theatre is also the space for ballet performances by the Australian Ballet. And every year, across the bay at the Fleet Steps in the Botanic Gardens, Opera Australia stages an outdoor opera on the water, with the audience set up on the steps. :)

I've often boasted to my children that I've performed on three separate occasions at the Sydney Opera House. It sounds like quite an achievement, except that my high school choir, of which I was a member, won the open section of the ABC (national broadcaster) Choral Festival the first three years that it ran. Part of the prize was to perform before a large audience, along with other winning entries, at the Opera House. It's an amazing building and even more impressive in the flesh than it is in photos. And Sydney Harbour is a spectacular setting for it. Gorgeous.

[@evilmonkeyboy87]

Very nice animation of the SOH. Have done some work there (3:41 brings back memories!); just wanted to point out that past the Stage door, there's lots of behind the scenes as mentioned, but theres also a special staff and performer cafe - roughly same food as at the canteen restaurant, but very cheap (compared to nearby venues) and tasty. Also it has the best view of any staff room in the world (located between JST and Concert hall)! Great venue and (for me, at least) great to work at.

Great video as usually, the most important design element that wasn't highlighted in the video is the brilliant multi-scale design of each 'sail.' The geometry at the building level, the individual sail level, and the sub-sail level pieces that make up the sail, and the sub-sub-sail piece-level with the geometric arrangement of the ceramic tiles and their well thought out material properties, visual specularity, and multifaceted color, combine into a phenomenally harmonious design, basically unmatched by any other building.

Fun fact: The A/C is handled by using water, and there's a freshwater loop and a seawater loop. Heat in the freshwater loop is transferred to the seawater loop by passing the hot freshwater loop next to the cold seawater loop and the hot seawater is discharged into the harbor. This removes the need for big cooling units on the roof that would spoil the look.
