Thanks for the memories
The Sydney Opera House is turning 50 – thank you for sharing your favourite memories with us!
To celebrate five decades of this international icon, Museums of History NSW presented the exhibition The People’s House: Sydney Opera House at 50 – and we asked you to take part.
We invited you to share your favourite memory of the Opera House. Did you go to a spectacular concert or a moving play? Did you walk up the Monumental Steps on a perfect summer day? Maybe you caught a glimpse of the gleaming white sails as you flew into Sydney? Did you perform on the stage or work behind the scenes and have a great story to tell? Concertgoer or opera singer, Sydneysider or tourist, we asked to hear from you!
In 50 words or less we invited you to tell us your story, and if you had a photo to share you could include this too.
A selection of memories submitted appeared in a digital installation in the exhibition, on display at the Museum of Sydney from 1 July to 3 March 2024.
Submissions closed 11 December 2023.
