The Opera House was built by Danish architect Jorn Utzon. There was huge controversy at the time due to the costs, time taken etc so after a load of legal wrangling, he left the country and never saw the building finished until a few weeks ago. A lot of people say the interior was not finished to the original plans which is why so many artists dont actually like to perform here due to bad design of the artists areas. Most say it is far too cramped.
Stolen Opera House
Just this weekend, some other bloke from somewhere (I didn't catch his name or which country he is from) is stating he designed the Opera House and in fact his house is built to the same sort of plan, though smaller. I've seen the pics and it does look a lot like the Opera House He built his place in 1953....some 20 years before the Opera House actually opened.
Turns out even architects are thieving bastards as well.
