‘The Eighth Wonder’: Image Gallery

Opera Australia’s presentation of Sydney Opera House – The Opera, originally known as The Eighth Wonder opened on the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House last week. Our reviewer commented “This is a remarkable opera that deserves to be heard and seen more often. From the exotic pyramids of Mexico to the snowy forests of Denmark, the story of the Sydney Opera House is writ large…. ….the score (and) cast are world-class.”
