Note: Built from 1959 by the Danish architect, Jørn Utzon, who resigned after political and financial problems in 1966. Completed until 1973 by E. H. Farmer, Peter Hall, Lionel Todd, and David Littlemore. Acoustical consultants: V. L. Jordan and N. V. Jordan. Opened 20 Oct 1973 by Queen Elizabeth II, followed by a perfomance of Prokofiev's opera War and Peace. - The complex includes five halls for approximately 5500 visitors, and 1000 rooms overall. Originally intended for opera performances, the biggest hall with 2697 seats is used as Concert Hall due to its insufficient acoustics. A smaller hall with 1547 seats is used for opera performances.
