悉尼歌剧院是悉尼市的标志性建筑,也是世界著名的表演艺术中心。歌剧院于1973年落成,建筑风格独具特色,2007年被联合国教科文组织评为世界文化遗产。歌剧院的外形犹如即将乘风出海的白色风帆,与周围海景融为一体。悉尼歌剧院从1955年起向全世界公开征求设计作品,有32个国家233个作品参选,最后丹麦建筑师约恩·乌松的设计中选。从1959年3月开始建造, 1973年10月竣工。悉尼歌剧院可以举办交响乐、室内乐、歌剧、舞蹈、合唱、流行乐、爵士乐等多种演出。
情景對话
Dennis:It’s quite amazing when you think about it; the Sydney Opera House is celebrating its 46th birthday this year.
George:Yes, that’s true. It is quite an achievement, considering the way it started out.
Dennis:What do you mean?Are you talking about the beginning of the project?
George:Yes, that’s what I was referring to. But all that has been washed out of the history books now, and the politics, the corruption and the massive cost overruns are all but forgotten.
Dennis:But you’ve got to admire the engineering feat that has gone into the construction. It was a marvel(奇迹) of innovation and ingenuity.
