The Sydney Opera House was designed by Danish architect Joern Utzon in 1955. Work commenced on the opera House in 1959. The building was completed in 1973, at a cost of $102 million. The Opera House was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20 October 1973. The opening was celebrated with fireworks and a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. Prior to this, however, Sergei Prokofiev's 'War and Peace' was played at the Opera Theatre on 28 September 1973.

Are there catacombs beneath the Paris opera house?
Yes, what many Parisians consider a fable is actually true. There is a man-made lake beneath the Paris Opera House as was featured in "The Phantom of the Opera". The foundation was laid in the 1860's. Engineers struggled to drain the water from the earth and simply decided to impound it in a reservoir that has a depth of 12 feet and is 60 yards long. Several fish make their home there and are regularly fed by Opera House staff.
