悉尼歌剧院是20世纪最具特色的建筑之一，她不仅是悉尼艺术文化的殿堂，更是悉尼的灵魂。她造型新颖奇特、雄伟瑰丽，外形犹如一组扬帆出海的船队，又象一枚枚屹立在海滩上的洁白大贝壳。这座综合性的艺术中心，在现代建筑史上被认为是巨型雕塑式的典型作品，也是澳大利亚的象征性标志。
The Sydney Opera House is considered to be one of the most recognizable images of the modern world. It is not only one of the most famous performing arts venues, but also as representative of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt. It is one of New Seven Wonders of the World project in 20th.The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour and surrounded by water on three sides. It is an expressionist modern design, with a series of large precast concrete ’shell’, each taken from a
hemisphere of the same radius, forming the roofs of the structure. This magnificent structure looks like a giant ship whose sails are blowing in the breeze.
