"
From Hugh Jackman’s black eye to ‘benevolent’ ghosts in the back seats, tour
guides, security staff and stage managers guide us through five decades beneath
the white sails
As the Sydney Opera House celebrates its 50th birthday, its status as
Australia’s premiere cultural institution remains unrivalled. Its hallowed
halls have survived superstitions, lockdowns and celebrity showdowns, and
played host to sopranos, sleepovers and symphonies. Outside, crowds have
gathered in the shadows of its imposing white sails for an audience with both
British and Hollywood royalty.
With the help of tour guides, security staff and stage managers, we take a look
at five decades of moments that made Danish architect Jørn Utzon’s grand design
pop with life."
