Unlucky Bastard 7,765 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Great designer. People give the interior a bad wrap, but I think it looks fine.RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,248 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Most buildings in Sydney built in the last hundred years look dated on the inside. I think it's part of the charm of the place.I've only seen the Opera house fleetingly, but I love what it represents to the world - that Australia has its own unique culture and art. Even though it wasn't designed by an Australian, the fact that it's a building for performances, concerts etc by Australians is enough.Thank you Utzon.

Dean1700 4 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 I saw Howard Shore conduct the LOTR Symphony there several years ago and I thought the sound was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC1 3,565 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Danes will be saddened too. Actually, why be saddened? Mr. Utzon was 90 and probably lived a full and rich life. His architectural designs will for always be remembered. He will live on through his work.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
