About the Picture Slideshow/Slide Show: Review: Sydney Opera House must be one of the most recognisable images of the modern world - up there with the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building - and one of the most photographed. Not only is it recognisable, it has come to represent 'Australia'. Although only having been open since 1973, it is as representative of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt and the Colosseum of Rome.The construction of the beautiful freestanding, sculptural tripartite Opera House was one of the longest contractual sagas of the century.
