-This time I've travelled -to the other side of the world. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-Hello, I'm Aled Jones. My classical -journey has brought me to Australia. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
-We've travelled through the heart -of European classical music... | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
-..and now we've arrived -in the New World. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
-Perhaps Australia is famed for -its sport more than anything else... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
-..but the arts are also adored. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
-There is a love of classical music, -opera and ballet here. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
-Many renowned classical musicians -have come from Australia. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-It's a popular destination -for touring performers. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
-I've toured here twice. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
-Sydney is the setting -for the world-famous landmark... | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-..that celebrates classical music. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-We saw two opera houses -on our European tour... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-..but this challenging piece -of architecture is breathtaking. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
-It certainly has an impact. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
-Sydney's iconic opera house -is a sight to behold. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
-It's almost 40 years... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
-..since the inauguration -of the opera house. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-But the design is timeless. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-It still looks new, exciting -and completely original. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-I can't think of another building... | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-..that is as eye-catching as this -from every direction. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-From the sky, -the sails look even more striking. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-It differs a great deal from -traditional European opera houses. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
-It's even more dramatic up close. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
-But it's not all show - -it's also a very busy place. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |

-Here are some of -Sydney's highlights. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
-Sydney is -the largest capital in Australia... | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-..and is still expanding -due to immigration. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-It is how -Australia evolved, of course. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
-It's easy to understand the appeal. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
-The harbour -is the focal point of the city. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-It extends for 20km. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-It is part of everyday life -for the residents of Sydney. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
-Many of the city's workers -begin their day with a ferry ride. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-One of the harbour's -best vantage points... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-..is Lady Macquarie's Chair. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-It was carved from rock for Governor -Macquarie's wife, Elizabeth... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
-..who enjoyed sitting here to survey -the glorious views of the harbour. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
-As well as the exquisite views -of the opera house and bridge... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-..you can also see Kirribilli House -and Pinchgut Island... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-..which was once a prison -known for its paltry food supply. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
-This is a prime venue in the history -of Australian classical music. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
-The Sydney Conservatorium of Music. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-Many famous musicians -have studied here... | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-..including Roger Woodward, -Richard Bonynge, Richard Tognetti... | 0:04:51 | 0:04:57 | |
-..Simone Young, James Morrison -and Geoffrey Parsons. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
-Paul Terracini, the composer -of this series' signature tune... | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
-..was once a student here. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
-The familiar name for Sydney's -college of music was The Con. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
-It was opened in 1916 -and situated in a prime location... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
-..opposite the botanic gardens -and the opera house. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-The main Gothic structure -was a former stables... | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-..referred to -as the Palace for Horses. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
-It was designed by convict architect -Francis Greenway in 1815. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
-He was exiled for forgery... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-..and became Governor Macquarie's -principal architect. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-The Con's aim was to provide -musical tuition of a standard... | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
-..equal to that -of Europe's leading colleges. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
-It was also the home -of Australia's first orchestra... | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
-..the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
-A specialist high school -was added in 1918... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
-..before an opera school -in the mid-1930s. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-By the 1940s, -its reputation was so prestigious... | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-..that many of Europe's leading -musicians took up posts there. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
-Among them was composer -and conductor, Sir Eugene Goossens. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-He was lauded for turning The Con -into a world-class institution. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-In 1990 it was renamed the -Sydney Conservatorium of Music... | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
-..and amalgamated -with the University of Sydney. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-10 years later the institution -was renovated and extended. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
-It now houses -a new and impressive concert hall. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
-This is the City Recital Hall, -Angel Place... | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
-..which has become -part of Sydney's history. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
-This world-class venue is the first -purpose-built concert hall... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
-..since the opera house -opened in 1973. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-It is home to the Australia -Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1975. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
-It became world renowned -for its energetic performances... | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
-..and unique style. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
-Richard Tognetti -became artistic director in 1989... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
-..and since then, he has -pioneered its distinctive style. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
-Here they are -performing the work of Elgar. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-This is Introduction and Allegro -for Strings and Orchestra, Opus 47. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
-The orchestra sets out -to appeal to a diverse audience... | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
-..but more importantly, it aims -to assist budding young musicians. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
-APPLAUSE | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-In 2007, the Sydney Opera House was -made a UNESCO World Heritage Site... | 0:08:26 | 0:08:32 | |
-..and dubbed one of the indisputable -masterpieces of humankind. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
-It succinctly sums up -this remarkable place. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
-It was Eugene Goossens' idea... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-..to situate the opera house -at Bennelong Point. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-As the director -of the nearby Conservatorium... | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
-..it was his vision to make -Macquarie Street a musical hub. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
-The idea came to him in 1947, -and during the ensuing years... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-..he tirelessly lobbied -the New South Wales Government... | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-..before finally convincing -the state's president... | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-..that this was the perfect place -for the iconic structure. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
-It is a very busy place nowadays... | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-..but when a competition -was launched in 1955... | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-..to design a new opera house, this -was an architect's golden ticket. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
-They received more than 200 entries -from 30 countries. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-A shortlist of 30 was drafted... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-..although the winning architect -didn't feature. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-One of the judges, a Finnish -architect called Eero Saarinen... | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
-..demanded -they re-evaluate the entries. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-It was the ambitious design of Dane, -Jorn Utzon, which excelled. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:52 | |
-Here we are, inside -Jorn Utzon's glorious building. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-The way in which the structure -was completed is an opera in itself! | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
-Although Jorn Utzon -was a successful architect... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
-..he was unknown -outside of Denmark... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
-..when he won the competition. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-He submitted sketches which is -the reason he wasn't shortlisted. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
-The Finnish judge -realized his potential... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-..and convinced the other judges -that his was the best design. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-The prize money -was the princely sum of 5,000. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
-The ambitious concept -had to be realized... | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
-..but he had no idea -how to go about it. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
-Nobody had ever created Utzon's -adventurous sails design before. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
-It was only after erecting the main -structure that a solution was found. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
-His inspiration came from the rocks -on the outskirts of Sydney Harbour. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:47 | |
-His concept was to shield -the design's practical features... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-..within what Utzon called a podium. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-It was his vision that audiences -sat in an elevated position... | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
-..to view the performances. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-Although the design -was complicated... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
-..the engineers triumphed. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
-They developed revolutionary -techniques to do what was required. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
-With the spaces already carved out, -they began adding to the shell... | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
-..whilst being suspended by cables. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-They then attached the various parts -to the main structure. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
-The air conditioning system -is inventive... | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
-..using sea water -to lower the temperature. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
-It was a challenge for -Australia to find the resources... | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
-..but the ceramic tiles -that cover the sails... | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-..are the only items -to be imported. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
-After the break, -we will take a tour of the inside. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
-Join me then. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |

-I'm in Australia... | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-..visiting the iconic -Sydney Opera House. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
-With such an intricate -and complicated design... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-..it's no wonder it took longer -than expected to complete. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-Jorn Utzon, -the design's creator, resigned... | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
-..as a result of cost cutting. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-His dream -had turned into a nightmare. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
-In April 1966, he left Australia -and never returned. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
-This is when the interior -was redesigned to enhance acoustics. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
-They built -a separate concert hall... | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
-..which was different -from the original concept... | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
-..which was for -a multi-functional hall. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
-The construction took 30 years -to complete, but it was a triumph. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
-The architect, Utzon, was invited... | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
-..to redesign the interior... | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
-..although -he was too fragile to return. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
-His son went in his place. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-He never saw -the completed building... | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
-..but he was pleased that so much of -the opera house had been a success. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
-He also paid tribute to -the architects who succeeded him. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
-What I like about the opera house -is its relaxed atmosphere. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
-There is nothing stuffy about it. -It's a welcoming place. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
-There is more to it -than just opera and classical music. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
-Hundreds of visitors come here every -day from Europe, America and Asia. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
-Join me -on a behind-the-scenes tour... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-..of the Sydney Opera House. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
-This is the small studio -with a capacity of 300. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
-It's used for all sorts of things. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-A design like this means an array -of events are held here... | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-..from cabarets to cocktail parties. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
-On a larger scale, -there is this concert hall... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
-..which has seating -for 2,679 people. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-I know -because I've counted each one! | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-As we've seen from -famous European opera houses... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
-..this wood is used -to improve acoustics. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
-The first concert -was held here in September 1973... | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
-..by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, -conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
-Interestingly, it was a performance -of Wagner's music. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
-I wonder what he -would've made of this place? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
-These 18 circles -are called acoustic clouds... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-..bounce the sound -back to the musicians... | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
-..otherwise the sound -would escape into the ceiling. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-Here's an interesting fact. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
-Between the ceiling and the roof... | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
-..there is enough room to -accommodate a two-storey building. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-The panels are made of plywood, -which can be moulded into shapes. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
-This hall is the home -of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-They hold -more than 100 concerts a year. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-They are rehearsing -for tonight's concert. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
-Normally -I wouldn't be allowed in here... | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
-..but we've been granted special -permission, so let's listen. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
-The Sydney Symphony was founded in -the '30s as the ABC Radio Orchestra. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:35 | |
-It was a small ensemble -used for broadcasts. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-But since those early days... | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
-..it's now one of -the world's largest orchestras... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-..with 100 musicians. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
-It has attracted many -of the world's leading conductors... | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
-..the latest being Vladimir -Ashkenazy, another who loves Sydney. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:04 | |
-He is conducting the orchestra. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
-This is Maninyas: Concerto for -Violin by Australian, Ross Edwards. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
-It is a pity that Utzon -never saw his creation at work... | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
-..because this place is incredible. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
-It stays true to Utzon's design, -although it has been altered... | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
-..for the challenging acoustics. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
-At the back of the hall -is the large organ... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
-..the largest of its kind -in the world. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-There are 138 pipes visible, -though there are 10,000 in all. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
-It took 10 years to build. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
-It is completely exceptional. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
-Jorn Utzon said -he wanted the opera house... | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-..to resemble a large cathedral... | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
-..giving anyone who climbed -the stairs a thrilling experience. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-He certainly succeeded. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
-I'm now in the opera theatre... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
-..the home of -Australian opera and ballet. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
-It is the busiest place -in the building. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
-Utzon had intended it to be -a smaller hall... | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-..to fulfil -a less prominent role. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-Because of that, it falls short. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
-However, it functions effectively, -though it can be quite a squeeze. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
