Immediately recognisable by its sails glistening over the waters of Sydney Harbour, the UNESCO-listed Sydney Opera House is one of the world’s most photographed buildings.
Officially opened in 1973 and celebrating its 50th anniversary on Friday, "The House" as it's affectionately known, has wowed generations of audiences with world-class performances inside one of the greatest architectural structures of the 20th century.
"I remember this unusual shaped building coming out of the peninsula…because a lot of the buildings and houses I was living in were all squares and rectangles and then there was this very funny shape of a building," Sekules told Reuters from inside the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall. “When I read some of his inspirations for the Opera House, he said he really wanted to make it a contrast to all the squares and rectangles which I was brought up with and to really make this as a piece of sculpture," Sekules said. "It was a beautiful philosophy."
