Architectural approach:
• Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, but completed by an Australian architectural team headed by Peter
Hall, the building was formally opened on 20 October 1973 after a gestation beginning with Utzon's 1957
selection as winner of an international design competition.
• Construction of the Sydney Opera House began in March 1959 after the demolition of the existing Fort
Macquarie Tram Depot. The project was built in three phases: the foundation and building of the podium
overlooking the Sydney Harbor, the construction of the outer shells, and the construction of the interior.
