Figure 10.12 1967–1973 Stage 3: construction of the glass walls and interiors takes place. 1968 The New South Wales Government allocates ‘final’ funding for the completion of the project. This leads to the establishment of a hierarchy of treatment throughout the building that ensures quality in the three most important areas (exteriors, auditoria, public spaces) and economy in the administration, artists’ and service areas. 1973 Queen Elizabeth II opens the Sydney Opera House on 20 October 1973. Around 300 journalists from around the world visit the building in its inaugural period. 1979 The organ is installed in the Concert Hall (at the time, it is the largest mechanical-action pipe organ in the world). Figure 10.12 The opening of the Sydney Opera House in 1973 Figure 10.13 Figure 10.14 1986–1988 The land approach and forecourt are reconstructed and the lower concourse developed under the supervision of the then New South Wales Government Architect, Andrew Andersons, with contributions by Peter Hall. 1993 James Semple Kerr is commissioned to write a conservation plan for the Sydney Opera House. A long-planned car park to service the Sydney Opera House is constructed underground at the adjacent Royal Botanic Gardens. 1998–1999 The recording and rehearsal room is converted into two areas: an assembly area for the orchestra and the Studio, a revitalised performance space for the presentation of innovative music and performing arts. 1998 The Sydney Opera House celebrates its 25th anniversary. The Sydney Opera House Trust appoints Sydney architect Richard Johnson to advise on future development of the site and to establish planning principles. Through Johnson, the Trust begins negotiations to reconcile with Utzon and to re-engage him with the building in an advisory capacity. Johnson visits Utzon at his home in Majorca for lengthy discussions. 1999 Utzon formally accepts Premier Carr’s invitation to re-engage with the project by setting down design principles that outline his vision for the building and explain the principles behind his design. Over three years he works with his architect son and business partner, Jan Utzon, and Richard Johnson to draw up his design principles for the Sydney Opera House. Figure 10.13 Jørn and son Jan Utzon discussing the Sydney Opera House in 2004 2002 The Sydney Opera House Trust releases the Utzon Design Principles (Utzon 2002) simultaneously with the six-part Venue improvement plan and the announcement by Premier Carr of New South Wales Government funding to: • • • • • refurbish the reception hall (guided by Jørn Utzon) construct the western loggia explore options for improving the Concert Hall acoustics improve services to the forecourt to support performances modify the orchestra pit and interior of the Opera Theatre. 2004 Refurbishment of the Utzon Room (formerly known as the reception hall) is completed. Work starts on the western loggia. Utzon begins work on concept designs for the Opera Theatre.
