The Sydney Opera House really is worth seeing. It is as spectacular as you think it is, especially at night.
The SOH went on my to see list when I first heard of it the year it opened in 1973. You may not be aware that the commission for the opera house was launched in 1959 - yes there was that much politics and then construction problems, etc. It was generally reviled when it opened, but then soon became a source of pride for Australia. (The same scenario also applied to the Eiffel Tower - disdain then love!)These photos are (c) Ted White, 1988, on our first visit. Two of them are taken from the Manley Island Ferry.
