Sydney Opera House
In order to build this opera house, Sydney held an international architectural design competition in 1955, and selected the design of Danish architect J. Wu Zhong from 233 schemes. In 1966, Wu Zhong resigned as the chief architect of the theater, and the rest of the interior design was completed by Australian architects. The Opera House broke ground in 1959 and was completed in 1973.
The Sydney Opera House has a total construction area of 88,258 square meters, including a 2,69-seat grand concert hall, a 1,547-seat opera hall, a theater for more than 5 people and a small concert hall. In addition, there are rehearsal hall, reception hall, exhibition hall, recording hall, drama library and various ancillary rooms (such as dining room and sales department), with more than 9 rooms, which can accommodate more than 6, people at the same time.
The appearance of Sydney Opera House is three groups of huge shells, which stand on the pedestal of a cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure with a length of 186 meters from north to south and a width of 97 meters from east to west. The first group of shells is on the west side of the lot, with four pairs of shells arranged in a string, three pairs facing north and one pair facing south, and the inside is a big concert hall. The second group is on the east side of the lot, roughly parallel to the first group, with the same form and slightly smaller scale, and the opera hall is inside. The third group, the smallest in their southwest, consists of two pairs of shells, with a restaurant inside. Other rooms are cleverly arranged in the base. The entrance of the whole building complex is at the southern end, with 97 meters wide steps. The vehicle entrance and parking lot are located under the big steps.
Wu Zhong's participation in the design competition was too simple, and later he encountered a series of complex and difficult technical topics in the project. For example, at first, those huge shells were supposed to be reinforced concrete shell structures. After in-depth study, it was found that each shell can only be divided into strips of reinforced concrete ribs, and then prefabricated in sections before being combined into a whole. In order to reduce the difficulty of construction, all the shells are changed to the same curvature, so that each shell is equivalent to a part of the surface of a sphere with an imaginary radius of 76 meters. It took eight years to study and design the structure of these shells, and the construction took more than three years. The project budget is 7 million US dollars, and the actual cost is 12 million US dollars.
Sydney Opera House is a successful music and drama performance building with perfect equipment and excellent use effect. Those huge white shells near the water surface are like sails on the sea, and like clusters of blooming flowers, which are graceful and bright against the blue sky, blue sea and green trees. This building has been regarded as the symbol of Sydney.

Specific data of per capita consumption level in Australia
Sydney
Water and electricity charges:
Electricity and water charges in Sydney are collected quarterly, with electricity charges around 145 and water charges around 11.
Because the climate in Sydney is moderate, air conditioning is only needed for a few days in winter and summer, which saves a lot of electricity. However, the gas bill is included in the electricity bill, which is very cheap.
The water consumption is relatively large. At least take a bath every morning and evening, and take a bath twice a week, which should be a lot of water consumption. On average, the monthly water, electricity and gas bill is about 9 yuan.
Communication fee:
The monthly mobile phone fee is 6 yuan, in which you can make 6 minutes of calls, and there is no roaming fee or answering fee.
3 yuan is charged for the landline at home, and other calls are charged separately.
the internet fee is 5 yuan per month, and the broadband is 36G. And 8 yuan 12G.
Transportation fee:
Urban transportation mainly depends on self-driving and public transportation. Because of the high parking fees in urban areas, people usually go to work by bus. The public transportation in Sydney is very developed, and there are many kinds of bus cards.
a red season card can be used by trains, buses and ferries in a specified area, and it can be used for unlimited times. This season card is 418 yuan each. With this card, it can cover six traffic zones in Sydney, which is very convenient, especially for ferries, which is equivalent to taking a cruise around Sydney Harbour.
Car maintenance cost:
It is very cheap to maintain a car in Sydney, and the insurance premium is very low. The total insurance for seven Toyota seats is only about 1,7 yuan a year, and the registration fee is about 3 yuan, which is about 3 yuan.
Not to mention the cost of gasoline. Although it is more expensive than the United States, it is much cheaper than Beijing. Toyota's fuel tank capacity is 75 liters, and it has never surpassed that of 8 yuan, even though the oil price fluctuates frequently. Because of the good quality and sufficient quantity of oil, this box of oil can basically run one to return to Canberra.
Travel, vacation and spare time:
It's really cheap to fly in Australia. When flying from Sydney to Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Hobart, if you take JETSTAR's flight, the discount ticket is generally around 79 yuan, and if you are a promotion ticket, you only need 49 yuan and sometimes 39 yuan. If it is VERGINBLUE, it will be a little more expensive, and QANTAS is the highest, which is about 9. Because of the low travel expenses, there are many Australians traveling.
There is basically no charge for tourist attractions in Australia. Except for parking fees, all national parks do not charge tickets. Parking fees are unlimited in 1 yuan.
All beaches in Australia are also free of charge, but the swimming pool is charged, and every time you go to 6 yuan, there is no time limit.
The badminton courts in the city gymnasium are in 1 yuan every hour, and in basketball field every hour in 15 yuan.
45 yuan is charged for each person on the golf course (Moore Park has 9 holes, which may be cheaper if you go to the suburbs).
My spare time in Sydney also includes watching movies and performances. It's not too expensive to see a movie here. Any movie is not divided into large pieces. The first round is staged, and the ticket price is 17 yuan in the evening and 12 yuan in the daytime. One day of the week is 7 yuan, and each cinema is different.
The ticket price of Sydney Opera House is much higher than that of movies (or lower than that in China). For an opera or ballet, the class B ticket is between 7 and 9, and the class A ticket is about 12.
Tickets for concerts here are only between 4 and 1 yuan, especially those from China, and the tickets are basically between 3 and 8.
Clothing:
As far as wearing is concerned, most things are made in China. A pure wool suit 21 yuan, trousers are around 7 yuan.
If it's not a famous brand, clothes in Sydney rarely exceed 1, but 3-5 is more common.
Therefore, whenever there is a discount season, people who buy clothes always buy more than a few pieces, as if we buy vegetables.
daily necessities:
daily necessities are even cheaper. L 'Oré al's hair dyeing suits are not as good as those in 2 yuan. The price of shampoo and hair care products such as Pan Ting and Sassoon is about 1 yuan, and the quality is obviously better than that in China.
Washing powder and laundry detergent are basically below 1 yuan, about 5-5% in 6 yuan.
The detergent and degreasing agent used in the kitchen are basically several yuan a bottle.
You can buy a large package of toilet paper, toilet cleaner, fragrance and so on in 5 yuan.
The only sunscreen that is usually good is the one around 2 yuan.
food:
when it comes to eating, the difference is more obvious and the feeling is deeper. Supermarkets in Australia offer discounts all the year round, and there are discounts every week. Here are the discounts:
Suit chicken: 1 yuan or so
Beef, lamb chops: 7 yuan/kg
Chicken legs, chicken wings: 2.5 yuan/kg
Pork stuffing: 1 yuan/2kg (if you only buy 1kg, the price will be higher. And there is no moisture at all)

Eggs: 2.7 yuan /1 dozen (7g)
Fish (Blind Cao): 15 yuan/kg
Shrimp: 21 yuan/kg (if only 7 yuan/kg is on sale in the supermarket)
Salmon (. Bao
Laoganma Chili sauce only costs more than one yuan here, but it may cost 7-8 yuan in China.
I haven't paid special attention to other vegetable prices, and I feel that it is much more expensive than the United States, but it is still cheaper than China.
Special notice: The revolving restaurant in Sydney Tower has a buffet. If you book it through a travel agency at noon, you only need one person from 4 yuan, only one person from 36 yuan some time ago and one person from 68 yuan in the evening. Buffet includes: oysters (the famous Sydney oyster), metapenaeus ensis, roast beef, sheep, kangaroo meat, and other cold and hot dishes, ice cream and cakes. It's especially worthwhile to eat here. There are not only delicious food, but also beautiful scenery. The air quality in Sydney is particularly good.
