Sydney Day 6: The Opera House Tour

This one is actually great as you can see the inside of the concert hall. The Sydney Opera House Grand Organ at the back is the world's largest mechanical pipe organ, 138 pipes visible, 10,000 hidden in behind. It took 2 years just to tune all the pipes after it was installed. This is where we saw the orchestra rehearsing. Everything you see, the angles and shapes of the ceiling, walls, me and the seats are all acoustically designed.
