Jørn Utzon was awarded the first prize in an international architecture competition to design an Opera House for Sydney. In 1957 he flew to Australia to begin work on the construction of the greatest building Australia has ever seen and, indeed, one of the finest achievements of modern architecture. Utzon was forced from the project in 1966 and has never returned to Australia. What defeated him in the end was politics. His triumph came with the 2007 World Heritage Listing of the building “as a work of human creative genius” and one of the 20th Century’s greatest buildings.

SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES INCLUDE:
• extended interviews with Jørn Utzon filmed at his home in Hellebaëk, Denmark
• detailed accounts by Utzon of design principles and working methodology
• never before seen footage of the Sydney Opera House construction
• Super 8 footage of the protest at Utzon’s departure from the project
• aerial vistas of the Sydney Opera House.

“It stands by itself as one of the indisputable masterpieces of human creativity, not only in the 20th Century but in the history of humankind” Expert Evaluation Report to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, 2007.
