1. Sydney Opera House is located in the harbor of Australia. It has a building with unique conception and excellent design. Seen from a distance, it is like a white sail floating slowly from the blue sea. At close range, it looks like a shell washed ashore by the sea, standing obliquely by the sea. The white sail-like roof consists of 65,438+00 large "seashells", the tallest of which is 67 meters high. It is the world-famous Sydney Opera House. Sydney Opera House is recognized by the world as one of the most beautiful buildings in this century and a "rare work" in the history of contemporary architecture. It attracts 2 million tourists from all over the world every year. Few people who travel to Australia don't go to Sydney, and no tourists who come to Sydney don't go to Sydney Opera House, so Sydney has become a very prosperous city in tourism. Sydney Opera House was completed on1October 20th, 1973, opened by Queen Elizabeth II. Although it has only a history of more than 20 years, its popularity is far above that of many famous European opera houses. Together with the Harbour Bridge, it became the symbol of the earliest and largest city in Australia. However, few people know that the construction process of Sydney Opera House was full of twists and turns, and the design blueprint of this fantastic building was almost buried in the waste paper basket. 1957, a jury composed of four people discussed and considered various design schemes of the opera house. A judge named Ilo Saarinen noticed the design that was thrown into the wastebasket. This experienced Finnish-American architect has a unique vision and thinks that the ideas of Danish designer joslash utzon are unique, poetic and attractive. Saarinen argued and finally persuaded the other three judges to change their minds. In the end, Utzon's design beat the other 23 1 competitors and won a prize of 5,000 pounds. The unique design of the Opera House shows great anti-traditional courage and naturally challenges traditional architecture. The budget of this project is staggering. When the construction cost is increasing, Sydney citizens doubt whether the palace for artistic performance can be finally completed. When the Opera House was completed, * * * invested/kloc-0.02 million USD. Engineers and technicians spent five years calculating how to build 10 seashells to ensure that they would not collapse. The delay in the construction period and high cost led to the collapse of the New South Wales government. The opposition Liberal Party criticized the ruling Labor Party for spending a considerable part of its financial resources on the construction of the Sydney Opera House, ignoring the investment in hospitals and other welfare undertakings and putting people's lives and deaths at risk. After the success of the new government, the attitude towards the construction of the opera house is not as firm as that of its predecessor. So there was a fierce debate between the builders and the government, which finally forced Utzon to bid farewell to Sydney in tears. At that time, the opera house project was not even completed 1/4. From then on, Utzon, the designer of Sydney Opera House, never came back, even if his "masterpiece" changed from a blueprint to an object, even when he celebrated the 5th anniversary, 10 anniversary and 20th anniversary. Since the completion of 1973, Sydney Opera House has staged numerous classic operas, such as Wagner's Twilight of the Gods and Richard. Strauss's capriccio, Mozart's Don? 6? 1 Juan, Verdi's La Traviata and Simon? 6? 1 canela, Tosca of Puccini, etc. Vienna state opera talks about Austria, and everyone knows its music and opera. Austrian history has produced many world-famous musicians: Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, johann strauss, and Beethoven who was born in Germany but lived in Austria for a long time. These musicians have left a very rich cultural heritage for Austria for more than two centuries and formed a unique national cultural tradition. Salzburg Music Festival in Austria is one of the oldest, highest level and largest classical music festivals in the world. The annual Vienna New Year Concert is the most attended concert in the world. The Royal Opera House (now vienna state opera), built in 1869, is one of the most famous opera houses in the world, while the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is recognized as the world's leading symphony orchestra. Famous operas such as The Wedding of Figaro, Don Juan, The Temptation of the Harem and The Magic Flute are left here. 3. Scala Opera House The name Scala Opera House has incomparable charm for lovers. In the first 150 years after its completion, 350 operas premiered there. It can be said that every festival in the opera house is a recognized event in the Italian opera world. French novelist Stendhal declared that Scala Opera House would become "the greatest Italian Opera House" after seeing the performance. Stendhal's account at 18 17 predicted for the first time that Scala Opera House in Milan would become a holy place for singers and lovers. As the capital of Lombardy, Milan's opera art can be traced back to 17 17. At that time, the Austrian occupiers built the Reggie Duke Opera House, where Mozart and Gluck first won international fame. In a carnival in 1776, Duke Reggie's Opera House was reduced to ashes overnight. Subsequently, at the urging of Maria Teresa, the authorities decided to build two opera houses at the same time, one named after Canobbi Yano, which was used exclusively by the court, and the other was open to the upper-middle class. The Opera House is bigger, and it chose the online movie network www.527dy.cc www.92ys.com.
