Sydney Opera House to undergo $154 mn renovation
Australia has earmarked over $154 million to upgrade the Sydney Opera House, with a focus on improving its acoustics and accessibility. The renovation, said to be the largest to the UNESCO world heritage site since its opening in 1973, will take place between 2017 and 2020. Deloitte Access Economics in 2013 said it earns the state about $591 million yearly.
