General note

In 2006, the first alterations to the Sydney Opera House were made since its 1973 completion, with the construction of a colonnade that was part of Jorn Utzon's original vision. Utzon was credited with involvement in the project, however architectural historians and journalists were critical of the colonnade and believed it compromised the impact of the Opera House overall.
