- Summary:
-
The design, construction and final cost of the Sydney Opera House is one of the most controversial stories in the nation's history. It was a dazzling concept to fill an ill-considered brief. When the problems inevitably came to a head, the architect who conceived it resigned and someone had to be appointed to complete the design. That person was Peter Hall. For the first time his story is told.
