Hitting All the Notes

摘要

There are few structures on Earth that serve as the undisputed icons of their respective countries: the Eiffel Tower in France, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil are examples. For Australia, that structure is undoubtedly the Sydney Opera House. Today, we take the success of the Opera House as a given. It is Australia's No. 1 tourist destination, with more than 8.2 million visitors a year, and the complex's two main performance halls (along with several smaller venues) collectively host more than 2,000 shows a year, according to the Opera House's website.
