Title: Sydney Opra House
Post by: pineywoods on February 18, 2011, 09:59:42 AM
I watched a tv special last night featuring a well known piano player named Anthony Burger. Part of it was filmed inside the Sydney Opra house. I have seen pictures and heard about this building for years, but never seen the inside. No words in the english language to describe it. That building has to be one of the crowning achievements of the human race.

If you can see the "John Denver, A song's Best Friend" program by PBS  there is some footage from inside where he performs "My Old Guitar".  

I've also been there and our Aussie friends really have something to be proud of.

I didn't get to see the inside, but it is a sure impressive structure from the outside!

Like DanG, I've not been in there, but it sure is one of those Iconic buildings

Maybe they will have Hunters and Collectors reunion show there one day and I will get to see it  :D

Even from the other side of the harbour it stands out.

Lara was impressed but that might have been because it was the first time she had been on a boat.  :D
