Sydney Opera House commemorates 40th anniversary with online video series
The Sydney Opera House has released a four part video series to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the iconic building.
The series called ‘A Part of Us’, by Sydney production company Versus, focusses on the different ways the Opera House has become a part of Sydney’s culture by featuring the stories of a wide range of people.
Vanessa Duscio, head of media and marketing at the Sydney Opera House said: “We set out to create a series of stunning birthday tributes, with our goal being to focus on the different ways the Opera House has become a part of ‘Us’; our collective identity.
“It gives people a glimpse into the relationships people have with the Opera House from a former construction worker, to a ferry master, an actor, artist, chef, to a music therapist and architect… We wanted to draw on that deep sense of pride Australians feel on the eve of our 40th Anniversary, and to increase the sense of ownership of, and identification and engagement with the Opera House across the local and international community. And I think Versus delivered that in spades.”
The series was gradually uploaded to the Sydney Opera House’s YouTube channel and screened at the Opera House before the 40th anniversary gala event performances on Sunday.
