On 20 October 1973, the Sydney Opera House was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II. From conception to completion, it had taken more than 15 years and over $100 million dollars. In the years since its completion, the Sydney Opera House has become one of the most identifiable of Australia’s icons - ranking with the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Uluru, the koala and kangaroo - and is considered by many to be among the world's great architectural masterpieces.

In this documentary, award-winning filmmaker Susan Froemke explores the creation of the Metropolitan Opera’s storied home of the last five decades. Drawing on rarely seen archival footage, stills, and recent interviews, The Opera House looks at an important period of the Met’s history and delves into some of the untold stories of the artists, architects, and politicians who shaped the cultural life of New York City in the ’50s and ’60s. Among the notable figures in the film are famed soprano Leontyne Price, who opened the new Met in 1966 in Samuel Barber’s Antony and Cleopatra; Rudolf Bing, the Met’s imperious General Manager who engineered the move from the old house to the new one; Robert Moses, the unstoppable city planner who bulldozed an entire neighborhood to make room for Lincoln Center; and Wallace Harrison, whose quest for architectural glory was never fully realized.

Stephen Fry Live at the Sydney Opera House will be recorded at his first performance in Australia on Tuesday 27 July. Fry will discuss travel, art, TV and madness, with a tactful avoidance of cricket. With his usual admirable, rhetorical technique, sparkling wit and rich tones, this perfect Englishman will entertain and enthral during his 90 minute talk. Stephen John Fry is a national treasure in his native land of England. A writer, presenter, social commentator, satirist, actor and TV personality, Fry's diverse interests have seen him gain significant presence in radio, TV, film, print, online and even on PlayStation 3.

Behind the scenes feature for 'The Phantom of the Opera' (1989). Included on the Shout! Factory blu-ray.
