Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Australian Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir have performances in the grand concert hall with 2700 seats. Components of this complex have art space for about 270 people, Opera Theater and mobile arena. Sydney Opera House has a smaller studio, established in cabaret style specially for preparing new modern performances. Series of large concrete “shells” which are parts of a sphere with a radius of 75.2 meters, placed on a large platform makes this place unusual and the most visited.
