Members Preview: The People’s House: Sydney Opera House at 50

You are invited to an exclusive preview of The People’s House: Sydney Opera House at 50, a new exhibition celebrating five decades of extraordinary performances and unforgettable moments at the Sydney Opera House.

This year, we commemorate 50 incredible years of this architectural marvel that has become Sydney’s great civic space and ‘the people’s house’.

Museums of History NSW curator Dr Scott Hill will introduce you to extraordinary costumes, posters and programs, rare archival records, architectural drawings, photographs and much more. Relive the magic of past performances and events and go behind the scenes to discover the remarkable stories that have shaped the Opera House from its very first year to now.

Drinks and canapés will be served.

About the speaker

Dr Scott Hill

Formal studies in architecture, along with travels through Asia and Europe, furthered Scott’s interest in colonial building, domestic design, and the intrinsic relationship between architecture and landscape.
