I'd seen this masterpiece of architecture in so many different movies and tv shows, and always wondered how they fit a concert hall inside those crazy-looking sails! I'd never thought there were so many different venues inside! Fantastic explanation, animation, and music / sfx.
We like building our Arts centres down into the ground. Arts Centre Melbourne is another example of that. A couple of bits of trivia: The concert hall and theatre were originally swapped, with the theatre space being the larger part. This has made the theatre space challenging over the years as it's considerable smaller stage compared other Australian major venues. Sets are often designed specifically for the space or modular so when they tour, one module is excluded in Sydney. The loading dock mentioned is only a recent addition. Previously trucks drove around the western concourse and into the harbour side of the building (known as the central passage). This restricted the times of day shows could load in and out.
I live in Sydney, and I am very impressed of your amazing demonstration. I mean, it’s unbelievable that you not only shown the Opera House in details, but also the surroundings like the Harbour Bridge, Western Harbour tunnel and the carparks!! You are legend mate!
I'm glad to hear that you were impressed with the demonstration! The Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and the surrounding areas are iconic landmarks that hold a special place in the hearts of both locals and visitors
I'm 62, from Sydney, and have spent most of my life here. I remember the long saga of the SOH being built (paid for by a lottery), and the opening in 1973. My parents were at the first opera ever presented there, Prokofiev's War and Peace in 1973, almost exactly 50 years ago. (You can find video of that production on YT.) I've seen productions in all the venues, and it's interesting how they've changed - the Playhouse started out as the Music Room (for chamber music), for a while it was the Australian Film Institute's cinema, then became the small live venue it is today. The Studio was originally the Recording Hall. Also - there was originally almost no parking! You parked a mile away at the big Domain Parking Station and got a shuttle bus, even if you were in a tuxedo for an opera first night. My dad (an engineer) said the two main halls were really wooden buildings inside concrete sculptures - he hoped that one day the NSW Government would see sense, and rebuild the SOH to put opera in the large hall where it belonged.
Sir Eugene Goossens, the conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, probably did more than any one else to get the Opera House built and on that site. Unfortunately him came to grief and died a miserable man when he got charged with importing pornography into Australia - the kind of stuff that nowadays would hardly raise an eyebrow!
When I went in 2004 the tour guide told us that all of the paving stone steps were the same size as the chairs in the theatres. The chairs were made of a material that had the same acoustic absorption as a human body, so empty or full the theatre would have the same acoustics for everyone to hear.
Every video Jared Owen releases gets better and better as his style develops. As a fellow Blenderer, it is really inspirational to see his style, animations, and complexity. Great job!
Spent a lot of time in this building. In and out of the Studio so many times, the Playhouse, and the concert hall. I've never given it it much mind other than it's a place I worked and watched amazing musicians and actors. Thank you Jared, for your architectural breakdown on this wonderful piece of art! I haven't been back there in about 30 years, so this was a wonderful reminder of all the time I spent there.
Wow, great job. I was born and bred in Sydney (I'm 62 and can still remember the official opening in 1973 by the Queen) and have been to many productions in both halls over the years. Your animation is absolutely amazing and I continue to look forward to each new one. it's gratifying to know you spent so much time researching and producing this animation about our most treasured example of "Scandi" architecture. Cheers.
Joan Sutherland was a very famous Australian opera singer, who performed many times at the Opera House. In fact her memorial service was held there when she died in 2010. Hence the renaming of the theater.

@@JaredOwen I lived in Sydney a long time ago. It's a great city. Now I live in Brisbane capital of the northern state of Queensland. I really appreciated this video so thanks❕ I just want to tell you, but you may already know, that Bennelong point is named after an Aboriginal man called Bennelong who was a friend of the first governor of NSW, Arthur Phillip. He went to London with Governor Phillip and it is said he was introduced to the King , George III. When he came back to Sydney, Governor Phillip built a house for him on Bennelong point where the Opera House stands today. His biography is on Wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennelong?
@@JaredOwenDid they reach the quality that was planned by Utzon in the early 1960s, or does it still suffer from the bad changes made by the replacement team?
The acoustics of the Opera House were notoriously terrible. Knew someone who played in it as part of a youth orchestra, she said it was simply the worst place she played. Musicians wore earplugs in the pit because the sound bounced straight back down to the orchestra at insane volumes, instead of spreading out to the audience.
I was born in Sydney and lived there until I was 24. My parents and my school took me to the Opera House many times as a kid and it's so cool to see it in your unique animation style. I have watched great comedians, circus performers, and musical artists in that building and I love that you can walk right up to the tiles and study their unique design. A small piece of something truely special and I feel very lucky to have had it on my doorstep growing up. Thanks for the video Jared :)
I love your videos but (specifically as an Australian) I love even more how respectful you are in regards to Indigenous Peoples and peoples living with disabilities. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us!
I've lived in Sydney all my life, and attended many events at the Opera House. This is an amazing tribute to the building, and incredibly insightful. Well done!
This was my first time seeing what it looked like inside and it was mind blowing - I never expected it to be so big and have so many rooms! An absolute blast of a video - thank you Jared! 🎉 👏
I love how you take the time to model out and show us all the little hallways and other less important areas in these videos. PLEASE never stop doing that! Its my favorite part.
What a gift you have Jared! This is a incredibly complex building with barely a straight line any where with layer upon layer of hidden cavities and yet you managed to explain it simply and mindfully. You are a master of 3D animation. Thanks for sharing your talent! 👍👏😁 (From a M.E. with 35 years commercial construction management)
As a native to Sydney myself I’m very proud of this iconic structure I was there for the opening ceremony It was opened by Queen Elizabeth It was such a lovely ceremony I’m so happy to be an Aussie
As a Dane, architect student and also big fan of Jørn Utzon's Syndey Opera House, I really appreciate the work and huge amount of effort you've put into making this beautiful video explaining and showing this building so brilliantly! Thank you! I hope to visit the Opera House some day 🙂
What's so brilliant about it? 3d Model is either overdetailed or underdetailed and so it is no use to understanding of building, first half of vid is just blablabla with no connection to the building itself as an architecture element, it is too lengthy, has no alternative image and keeps shoving coal in your mouth... and so on
3:37 "Large deliveries" is technically true, but in theatre it's pretty normal for the scenery and technical gear to be transported by truck, so it's a pretty crucial part of the building, no loading dock means no shows in the opera house
Was at it’s opening in 1973. Was on board a small boat right out in front! 10 years later got to dance centre stage 1983. So managed to walk the back areas during practice, have lunch in the green room, talk to leading dancers/artists, and much more. Such a magic time I’ll never forget!
Absolutely fantastic video! As someone who lives in Sydney and regularly go to concerts at the Opera House it's incredible how much detail you've packed into here!! I've also played the piano at the Utzon Room once
Excellent animations! Probably the best informative architecture related animations on youtube (haven't find anything better ever). Easily discovery level stuff (or grand designs)
Excellent as usual. Would you ever consider making a behind the scenes video where you explain your process? Do you actually model everything yourself? If so, where do you look for these detailed floor plans/dimensions?
That was the most in-depth explination of the Sydney Opera House I've ever seen! Such a fantastic job describing every little area of a complex structure. I really hope to visit this place someday. And of course, amazing animation as always Jared! Looking forward to your next one :D
I have built a few years ago a model kit of this opera . It was a great moment and this video complete perfectly my model kit ! Thank you I am waiting for the next one Jared !
Fantastic video as always Jared! The Opera House truly is an incredible feat of both engineering and architecture. There’s also a small platform at the highest point of the roof of the concert hall. Keep up the great work, love the content!!
I've often boasted to my children that I've performed on three separate occasions at the Sydney Opera House. It sounds like quite an achievement, except that my high school choir, of which I was a member, won the open section of the ABC (national broadcaster) Choral Festival the first three years that it ran. Part of the prize was to perform before a large audience, along with other winning entries, at the Opera House. It's an amazing building and even more impressive in the flesh than it is in photos. And Sydney Harbour is a spectacular setting for it. Gorgeous.
Hi Jared; loved the video! I've spent plenty of time at the SOH and loved your breakdown! On the first day of winter here, I can confirm that the Forecourt hosts concerts even in colder weather. A few details: the Concert Hall has 16 acoustic petals, not 12. As well as bouncing back the sound to the audience; they do a much better job at making the sound audible on stage than the previous solution (a set of transparent donuts or halos hanging above the stage)! The Western Foyer is also called the Colonnades. All in all loved the video - great job!
Very nicely done. I had only a vague concept of what was under the sails. While not very likely, maybe I'll see it in person one day. Thanks very much for this video.
Highly recommend the tour if you go! The guides were INCREDIBLE in terms of their knowledge of the building and it's history. Our guide was from Germany and one of the facilities managers so she knew all the deets
This video answered so many questions for me that I'd been trying to answer for an hour now using other sources. Thank you so much! Extremely detailed and amazing design work.
Normally your videos are interesting, but this one is mind-altering. You show this is not an opera house, but a an amazingly integrated hub for live performance. Decades ago I worked in this business, and saw how live performances cross-pollinate. You truly added extra dimensions to what I had only known as a nice silhouette,
very nice job. a large part of the reason the architect quit was because the client (the government) decided to swap the locations of the concert hall and opera theatre, this decision was made AFTER the backstage areas (underneath) had already been built, therefore had to be demolished, and they weren't going to give him more time and money to do this.
Some of my favourite theatre memories have been at the Opera House. I saw My Fair Lady, as well as a Q&A/interview with Julie Andrews herself, and her daughter (she was directing the production), and Phantom of the Opera at the Joan Sutherland Theatre, and Six at the Studio, and they’re all definitely some of my favourite shows. Also, thank you for mentioning the Gadigal people in your history overview.

The world will thank you for your work, even though only a few of us are aware of the situation and what you are offering for free. I will support once I earn.
I love these animation videos I am 11 years old and I want to become an astronaut So I love Space animations the most Quality over Quantity ❤ Love your videos!!!
Really well done! I am an expat Yank living in Sydney since 1989 and have been to the Sydney Opera House many times for many performances since then; excellent work here. This video will be really helpful for those who view this. I suggest anyone considering a tour of the Sydney Opera House take the "Back Stage Tour." While a tad pricey, it will be worth your time and money.
I love your videos. It's truly amazing. Please do make a video on INDIAN SPACE RECERCH ORGANISATION (ISRO)'s MANGALYAAN MISSION - The only country which succeeded to orbit Mars in just 1 attempt in a surprisingly short budget.
I find this building to amplify all the things that are wrong with Australia. It was initially a genius design concept by Jørn Utzon. A visionary design that was butchered by cost cutting when the government of the day decided Utzon was spending too much money. That set in place a Opera House that was dysfunctional and near impossible to work as it was originally designed. The fact that Jørn Utzon's son Jan had to come to Sydney to rectify many design failings set up by the government architect who cheapend the build says it all. But maybe what's most important is we all remember Jørn Utzon but the replacement architect is not remembered. We remember the creator not the destroyer. In the timeframe of the Opera House build is when you could see how government decisions were always never looking at the bigger picture. If anything it's far worse today. We struggle to do any major projects now unless a private company use it as a cash cow. Sorry for the rant but sadly its fact. Anyway the best part of the Opera House is the public toilets in the foyer. In there you will find Danish design ideas that look incredibly modern today.
@@lowe_sa2976 Correct. We seem to learn nothing from the government's mistakes in decision making. It is sad that lots of younger people don't understand how botched the Opera House build was once the money for the build was restricted. Just incredibly sad Jørn Utzon never saw his masterpiece as a finished building.
I did the Opera House tour about 10 years ago which i found fascinating. Just like all of Jared's detailed animations i found this one fascinating as well. Great detail.
Wow! Genius design. I be always been intrigued by this structure since I was a kid. It is timeless. Thank you for the video. I didn’t realize how this place was set up. I learned a lot.
The Sydney Opera House has a reputation of being the worst professional venue in Australia for actually staging operas. Apparently, it has a distinct lack of backstage space for sets.
I have some suggestions if you don't mind :) How does an oven/microwave work? How does Starship/Artemis mission work? How does a TV work (Old compared to New)? How does a car work (engine and gas and brake pedals etc)? How does a firework work? How does a light bulb work? What is inside the Twin Towers World Trade Center? (Before the 9/11 attacks),(and probably what happened that day) What is inside the Pyramids of Egypt? What is inside the Taj Mahal? Maybe do a poll to help deciding because this is 9. I hope these help with deciding your next video. Keep up the good work sir :D
Very nice animation of the SOH. Have done some work there (3:41 brings back memories!); just wanted to point out that past the Stage door, there's lots of behind the scenes as mentioned, but theres also a special staff and performer cafe - roughly same food as at the canteen restaurant, but very cheap (compared to nearby venues) and tasty. Also it has the best view of any staff room in the world (located between JST and Concert hall)! Great venue and (for me, at least) great to work at. I look forward to my next opportunity to work there!
Man, good on you for doing your research and including the information of the traditional owners of the land. Most people outside of Australia would have 0 idea about any of that.
I was thinking about why there aren't any updates from Jared and just then notification popped up revealing it to be yet another great work from Jared. It was worth subscribing to this channel in the year 2019. You have also inspired me to improve my skills in blender. Thanks for everything. 😊❤
Great video as usually, the most important design element that wasn't highlighted in the video is the brilliant multi-scale design of each 'sail.' The geometry at the building level, the individual sail level, and the sub-sail level pieces that make up the sail, and the sub-sub-sail piece-level with the geometric arrangement of the ceramic tiles and their well thought out material properties, visual specularity, and multifaceted color, combine into a phenomenally harmonious design, basically unmatched by any other building.
Wow amazing! I live in Sydney and have been to the Opera House many times but only from the outside, I had no idea all this magic inside.. Thank you for introducing me to all this magic, definitely worth visiting again.. A great building that makes you feel proud
Yes Jared Owen you are correct when it comes to the display on the opera house, currently there indigenous artworks projected on the opera for the vivid festival
My 4 year old son is obsessed with these videos and watches them obsessively. 😁 he wants me to ask you if you’ll make a video about cash registers. He has a fisher price one and is wondering how they work. 😊 You’re amazing! We’re big fans of your work! I love that he loves your videos and learns so much from them ❤
Again: Some of the most clear, concise and easy to 'see' videos on stuff anywhere on UA-cam. The research for each video is incredible and the animation is wonderous. Well done! (as always)
I live here in Sydney and this video is actually a really great idea, since it’s shown in so many movies and shows, but it’s NEVER seen from the inside. Cheers
It's great to know that the details of the demonstration were able to capture the essence of these landmarks and the cityscape. Sydney is a beautiful and vibrant city.
Your videos are the best. I live in Seattle and your video of the Space Needle was amazing, as all of your videos are. One thing I've come to learn: Knowing something and being able to EXPLAIN it clearly to others are two different things. You are extremely good and concise when explaining things - this is rare. I marvel at how you take something very complex (Like the Soyuz space capsule) and explain it in terms that anyone can understand. Even the great Neal Degrasse Tyson gives explanations that tend to be rather muddled and full of big words. Thanks for sharing these videos with everyone !
Thanks for that. I’ve been a Sydneysider all my life and I never knew how the Opera House was configured. I actually thought most of the building was in the big concrete block and the bits of segmented orange were just skylight type things. Excellent graphics.
I have only once been to Australia, and first stop was Sydney. My hotel was in Darling Habour, and the very first day I walked to the operahouse, it was really a must. Incredible beautiful building!
Thanks for your excellent video on the interior of our beloved Opera House. I'm an Aussie and I visit Sydney occasionally and I've been around the outside of the Opera House many times and have photographed it a bazillion times from the outside but I've never ever been inside ironically!!! That's because I haven't been to any concerts/plays held there. Anyhow your video has perfectly well educated me on what's inside and I've learnt quite a lot from your video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Jared for your interesting, worldwide and 3D animations. I just needed a video of Kailash mountain in present day China and it would be very amazing if you send it
Thank you! You are soooo good at this. Easy listen to you, it’s always comprehensive, I don’t get dizzy with all the changes in the images 😊. You are great. Thank you!
omgosh this was superb Jared. I've been to the opera house many Times - This almost made me cry. Yes it is Australia's most vital building. Everybody should come and have a Wine/beer at the Opera house bar on a sunny afternoon.
This was a VERY comprehensive video! I, too, have wondered about the inside. Not must was left to wonder. I think I probably saw more than if I was on the tour!
A couple of notes from an Opera House employee: Portside was renovated into a new restaurant called Midden, serving Indigenous inspired cuisine and a very good way for visitors to learn about traditional cuisine and food culture. The Joan Sutherland Theatre is also the space for ballet performances by the Australian Ballet. And every year, across the bay at the Fleet Steps in the Botanic Gardens, Opera Australia stages an outdoor opera on the water, with the audience set up on the steps. :)
I saw a play at the Opera House more than a decade ago. They ushered us through the side door and into a small playhouse. I was scratching my head for years about how many venues there were at the Opera House and how big they were and how it all fits together. I think seeing those behind the scenes areas would be very interesting as well.
I was just here in March. Thank you for this exceptional video! Please consider doing one on the Metropolitan Opera House (or Lincoln Center) in New York!

That was the most in-depth explination of the Sydney Opera House I've ever seen! Such a fantastic job describing every little area of a complex structure. I really hope to visit this place someday. And of course, amazing animation as always Jared! Looking forward to your next one :D
Thank you!
I have built a few years ago a model kit of this opera . It was a great moment and this video complete perfectly my model kit ! Thank you
I am waiting for the next one Jared !
Fantastic video as always Jared! The Opera House truly is an incredible feat of both engineering and architecture. There’s also a small platform at the highest point of the roof of the concert hall. Keep up the great work, love the content!!
Thank you!
I've often boasted to my children that I've performed on three separate occasions at the Sydney Opera House. It sounds like quite an achievement, except that my high school choir, of which I was a member, won the open section of the ABC (national broadcaster) Choral Festival the first three years that it ran. Part of the prize was to perform before a large audience, along with other winning entries, at the Opera House. It's an amazing building and even more impressive in the flesh than it is in photos. And Sydney Harbour is a spectacular setting for it. Gorgeous.
Hi Jared; loved the video! I've spent plenty of time at the SOH and loved your breakdown!
On the first day of winter here, I can confirm that the Forecourt hosts concerts even in colder weather.
A few details: the Concert Hall has 16 acoustic petals, not 12. As well as bouncing back the sound to the audience; they do a much better job at making the sound audible on stage than the previous solution (a set of transparent donuts or halos hanging above the stage)! The Western Foyer is also called the Colonnades. All in all loved the video - great job!
Thanks for the feedback Jonathan!
Very nicely done. I had only a vague concept of what was under the sails. While not very likely, maybe I'll see it in person one day. Thanks very much for this video.
Highly recommend the tour if you go! The guides were INCREDIBLE in terms of their knowledge of the building and it's history. Our guide was from Germany and one of the facilities managers so she knew all the deets
Always a great year when Jared casually returns after a month with the milk
😂 - "with the milk" - I love it
This video answered so many questions for me that I'd been trying to answer for an hour now using other sources. Thank you so much! Extremely detailed and amazing design work.
The waiting is over and I'm sure its magnificent as always, thanks for your time to get this done - amazing work you're doing
Thank you Kevin!
Normally your videos are interesting, but this one is mind-altering. You show this is not an opera house, but a an amazingly integrated hub for live performance. Decades ago I worked in this business, and saw how live performances cross-pollinate. You truly added extra dimensions to what I had only known as a nice silhouette,
This is incredible. Give this man a raise.
You Sir, are so very talented. I simply cannot grasp how you keep track of all this research, let alone animate it. Bravo!
very nice job. a large part of the reason the architect quit was because the client (the government) decided to swap the locations of the concert hall and opera theatre, this decision was made AFTER the backstage areas (underneath) had already been built, therefore had to be demolished, and they weren't going to give him more time and money to do this.
Yeah it sounded like a messy situation. Very sad story - I wish things had worked out different!
Some of my favourite theatre memories have been at the Opera House. I saw My Fair Lady, as well as a Q&A/interview with Julie Andrews herself, and her daughter (she was directing the production), and Phantom of the Opera at the Joan Sutherland Theatre, and Six at the Studio, and they’re all definitely some of my favourite shows.
Also, thank you for mentioning the Gadigal people in your history overview.
I know how Spirit Works but I Like to See what It Looks Like in Blender
Branch education and you are underrated legends of the internet world. You are an inspiration, a force for change, a gift, and a lifeline in the sea of modern content and trends. The world will thank you for your work, even though only a few of us are aware of the situation and what you are offering for free. I will support once I earn.
Wow, thank you for such a kind comment!
I love these animation videos
I am 11 years old and I want to become an astronaut
So I love Space animations the most
Quality over Quantity ❤
Love your videos!!!
Thanks Saatvik! That would be awesome if you became an astronaut
Really well done! I am an expat Yank living in Sydney since 1989 and have been to the Sydney Opera House many times for many performances since then; excellent work here. This video will be really helpful for those who view this. I suggest anyone considering a tour of the Sydney Opera House take the "Back Stage Tour." While a tad pricey, it will be worth your time and money.
6:07 страшно
Truly one of the most beautiful buildings on Earth. Architectural perfection.
let me guess... A stage with seats in front
I love your videos. It's truly amazing.
Please do make a video on INDIAN SPACE RECERCH ORGANISATION (ISRO)'s MANGALYAAN MISSION - The only country which succeeded to orbit Mars in just 1 attempt in a surprisingly short budget.
I find this building to amplify all the things that are wrong with Australia. It was initially a genius design concept by Jørn Utzon. A visionary design that was butchered by cost cutting when the government of the day decided Utzon was spending too much money. That set in place a Opera House that was dysfunctional and near impossible to work as it was originally designed. The fact that Jørn Utzon's son Jan had to come to Sydney to rectify many design failings set up by the government architect who cheapend the build says it all. But maybe what's most important is we all remember Jørn Utzon but the replacement architect is not remembered. We remember the creator not the destroyer.
In the timeframe of the Opera House build is when you could see how government decisions were always never looking at the bigger picture. If anything it's far worse today. We struggle to do any major projects now unless a private company use it as a cash cow. Sorry for the rant but sadly its fact. Anyway the best part of the Opera House is the public toilets in the foyer. In there you will find Danish design ideas that look incredibly modern today.
Nothing changes
@@lowe_sa2976 Correct. We seem to learn nothing from the government's mistakes in decision making. It is sad that lots of younger people don't understand how botched the Opera House build was once the money for the build was restricted. Just incredibly sad Jørn Utzon never saw his masterpiece as a finished building.
Read Peter FitzSimons' excellent book of the very sad story of The Sydney Opera House.
Yes, the final result is a travesty and a missed opportunity.
I did the Opera House tour about 10 years ago which i found fascinating. Just like all of Jared's detailed animations i found this one fascinating as well. Great detail.
Wow! Genius design. I be always been intrigued by this structure since I was a kid. It is timeless. Thank you for the video. I didn’t realize how this place was set up. I learned a lot.
The Sydney Opera House has a reputation of being the worst professional venue in Australia for actually staging operas. Apparently, it has a distinct lack of backstage space for sets.
I have some suggestions if you don't mind :)
How does an oven/microwave work?
How does Starship/Artemis mission work?
How does a TV work (Old compared to New)?
How does a car work (engine and gas and brake pedals etc)?
How does a firework work?
How does a light bulb work?
What is inside the Twin Towers World Trade Center? (Before the 9/11 attacks),(and probably what happened that day)
What is inside the Pyramids of Egypt?
What is inside the Taj Mahal?
Maybe do a poll to help deciding because this is 9.
I hope these help with deciding your next video.
Keep up the good work sir :D
The worlds ugliest building
Very nice animation of the SOH. Have done some work there (3:41 brings back memories!); just wanted to point out that past the Stage door, there's lots of behind the scenes as mentioned, but theres also a special staff and performer cafe - roughly same food as at the canteen restaurant, but very cheap (compared to nearby venues) and tasty. Also it has the best view of any staff room in the world (located between JST and Concert hall)! Great venue and (for me, at least) great to work at. I look forward to my next opportunity to work there!
Man, good on you for doing your research and including the information of the traditional owners of the land. Most people outside of Australia would have 0 idea about any of that.
I was thinking about why there aren't any updates from Jared and just then notification popped up revealing it to be yet another great work from Jared. It was worth subscribing to this channel in the year 2019. You have also inspired me to improve my skills in blender. Thanks for everything. 😊❤
Great video as usually, the most important design element that wasn't highlighted in the video is the brilliant multi-scale design of each 'sail.' The geometry at the building level, the individual sail level, and the sub-sail level pieces that make up the sail, and the sub-sub-sail piece-level with the geometric arrangement of the ceramic tiles and their well thought out material properties, visual specularity, and multifaceted color, combine into a phenomenally harmonious design, basically unmatched by any other building.
Great video. I never knew there were 5 major performance spaces inside the building. I always thought there were only 2. Amazing.
0:01 To save you all time,The thing inside the sydney opera house building is..AN OPERA HOUSE!
Wow amazing! I live in Sydney and have been to the Opera House many times but only from the outside, I had no idea all this magic inside.. Thank you for introducing me to all this magic, definitely worth visiting again.. A great building that makes you feel proud
Yes Jared Owen you are correct when it comes to the display on the opera house, currently there indigenous artworks projected on the opera for the vivid festival
Very cool
Yeah that one is new😀 It seems like they are always renovating or adding stuff
My 4 year old son is obsessed with these videos and watches them obsessively. 😁 he wants me to ask you if you’ll make a video about cash registers. He has a fisher price one and is wondering how they work. 😊
You’re amazing! We’re big fans of your work! I love that he loves your videos and learns so much from them ❤
Again: Some of the most clear, concise and easy to 'see' videos on stuff anywhere on UA-cam. The research for each video is incredible and the animation is wonderous. Well done! (as always)
I live here in Sydney and this video is actually a really great idea, since it’s shown in so many movies and shows, but it’s NEVER seen from the inside. Cheers
These videos just don't get enough likes for the effort you put into these. Keep it going
Thanks lego engineer😀
I live in Sydney and I never grow tired of visiting this masterpiece of human construction.
It's great to know that the details of the demonstration were able to capture the essence of these landmarks and the cityscape. Sydney is a beautiful and vibrant city.
Your videos are the best. I live in Seattle and your video of the Space Needle was amazing, as all of your videos are. One thing I've come to learn: Knowing something and being able to EXPLAIN it clearly to others are two different things. You are extremely good and concise when explaining things - this is rare. I marvel at how you take something very complex (Like the Soyuz space capsule) and explain it in terms that anyone can understand. Even the great Neal Degrasse Tyson gives explanations that tend to be rather muddled and full of big words. Thanks for sharing these videos with everyone !
Hi Eric, Thank you for the kind words! I am glad you are enjoying my videos!
Thanks for that. I’ve been a Sydneysider all my life and I never knew how the Opera House was configured. I actually thought most of the building was in the big concrete block and the bits of segmented orange were just skylight type things.
Excellent graphics.
Another amazing video, thank you so much and congratulations on your superb work!
Amazing video as always, Jared. Thank you for making these, the way you explain and animate everything makes it so easy to understand.
😀
Please do a video about ocean gate submarine! i'd love to learn how it works
This is a fantastic channel. Its videos are both entertaining and informative. Thank you for sharing so much good content with us!
Thank you Maitreya!
I have only once been to Australia, and first stop was Sydney. My hotel was in Darling Habour, and the very first day I walked to the operahouse, it was really a must. Incredible beautiful building!
Thanks for your excellent video on the interior of our beloved Opera House. I'm an Aussie and I visit Sydney occasionally and I've been around the outside of the Opera House many times and have photographed it a bazillion times from the outside but I've never ever been inside ironically!!! That's because I haven't been to any concerts/plays held there. Anyhow your video has perfectly well educated me on what's inside and I've learnt quite a lot from your video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Jared for your interesting, worldwide and 3D animations. I just needed a video of Kailash mountain in present day China and it would be very amazing if you send it
You never truly appreciate the scale of design, art and form until you see something like this. And to think it was designed in the 50s.
Thank you for paying your respects to the traditional custodians of that land :) Fantastic video.
You're welcome😀
Thank you! You are soooo good at this. Easy listen to you, it’s always comprehensive, I don’t get dizzy with all the changes in the images 😊. You are great. Thank you!
omgosh this was superb Jared. I've been to the opera house many Times - This almost made me cry. Yes it is Australia's most vital building. Everybody should come and have a Wine/beer at the Opera house bar on a sunny afternoon.
Thank you Gerard!
Como aprovechan el espacio es algo increíble.
This was a VERY comprehensive video! I, too, have wondered about the inside. Not must was left to wonder. I think I probably saw more than if I was on the tour!
The Sydney Opera House is jam packed !! Thanks for posting. I appreciate your effort.
i bet someone found themselves lost in that building somewhere and decided to watch this video to find the way out
Awesome! More videos about buildings please. I would love to see you do the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain.
I was there in 2002 in the Northern Foyer for an event. The exterior of this building is so beautiful to look at.
I visited the Sydney Opera House in 2000. It's an amazing structure and a lovely country.
A couple of notes from an Opera House employee: Portside was renovated into a new restaurant called Midden, serving Indigenous inspired cuisine and a very good way for visitors to learn about traditional cuisine and food culture. The Joan Sutherland Theatre is also the space for ballet performances by the Australian Ballet. And every year, across the bay at the Fleet Steps in the Botanic Gardens, Opera Australia stages an outdoor opera on the water, with the audience set up on the steps. :)
On a seven hour layover in ‘12, I took the tour and had lunch. An absolutely lovely building in a remarkable setting. Unforgettable!
I saw a play at the Opera House more than a decade ago. They ushered us through the side door and into a small playhouse. I was scratching my head for years about how many venues there were at the Opera House and how big they were and how it all fits together. I think seeing those behind the scenes areas would be very interesting as well.
This may be my favorite of all of the videos you’ve done. Thank you for this awesome tour!
Fascinating! I'll never make it to Australia, so this is the next best thing. Wonderful animations and clear explanations. Thank you!
As a born and raised SydneySider who has been to our beautful and unique Opera House many times. Thumbs Up 🙃👍 Brilliant .
I was just here in March. Thank you for this exceptional video!
Please consider doing one on the Metropolitan Opera House (or Lincoln Center) in New York!
Such a beautifully explained and animated video, as usual. Thanks for acknowledging the Gadigal people.
