Danish architect Jørn Utzon designed and largely built the Sydney Opera House located in Australia. Its unique design contains eight separate performing spaces including the Concert Hall which is home to the Sydney Symphony. Construction on the Opera House started in 1958 and the structure was completed in three phases. The building of the upper podium which was completed in 1963. The building of the outer shells which finished in 1967. And the construction of the interior which finished in 1973. In June of 2007 UNESCO declared the Opera House a World Heritage Site. Up to 300,000 people tour the Opera House every year and it is one of Australia’s most recognized sites.
