Sydney Opera House must be one of the most recognizable images of the modern world—up there with the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building and one of the most photographed. Not only is it recognizable, it has come to【B1】______"Australia". Although only having been open since 1973, it is as the symbol of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt and the Colosseum of Rome.
The Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point, which reaches out into the harbor. The skyline of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the blue water of the harbor and the Sydney Opera House, viewed from a ferry or from the air, is【B2】______and unforgettable.
Ironic, perhaps, that this Australian icon—the Opera House—was designed by renowned(有名的)Danish architect—Jorn Utzon. In the late 1950s the New South Wales Government established an appeal【B3】______to finance the construction of the Sydney Opera House, and【B4】______a competition for its design. Utzon’s design was chosen.
The irony was that his design was, arguably, beyond the【B5】______of engineering at the time. Utzon spent a couple of years reworking the design. It was 1961 before he had solved the problem of how to build the【B6】______feature—the "sails" of the roof.
The venture experienced cost blow-outs and there were occasions when the NSW Government was tempted to【B7】______. In 1966 with arguments about cost and the interior design, and with the Government【B8】______progress payments, the situation reached crisis point. Then Jorn Utzon【B9】______the project. The building was【B10】______completed by others in 1973.
