On 20 October 1973, Queen Elizabeth II formally opened the Sydney Opera House, a striking architectural marvel located at Bennelong Point in Sydney, Australia.
This iconic structure, designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, had taken 14 years to complete, with construction commencing in 1959.
The grand ceremony was a historic moment, celebrating not just the completion of the building but also its significance as a global symbol of innovation, culture, and artistic expression.
The Opera House would go on to become one of the most renowned and recognisable landmarks in the world, standing as a testament to human ingenuity and the vision behind it.
