After seven months of major
After seven months of major building works, the world-famous Joan Sutherland Theatre has reopened for artists, audiences and staff.
Sydney Opera House CEO Louise Herron AM said: “It's a historic moment for the Opera House. We are thrilled to be celebrating the New Year with a whole new era for the Joan Sutherland Theatre, one of our busiest and best-loved theatres and the first major project to be completed as part of our $273 million renewal works.
“After more than four decades of intense use, the JST has been transformed in just seven months, ready to meet the needs of future generations of artists, audiences and staff. What enables the magic we see on-stage is the impressively complex and intricate backstage work of performers, musicians, designers and crew. The improvements in the JST will not be immediately visible to the audience tonight, but they will transform the experience of everyone – on both sides of the curtain.”
The JST hosts about 330 performances a year, including opera and ballet as well as contemporary music and talks. Work on the venue was carried out by principal contractor Laing O’Rourke, with specialist sub-contractors, including leading acoustic engineers Müller BBM and Waagner-Biro, a stage systems specialist who also supplied the original theatre machinery in the mid-60s.
