Noooooo, there are bad ideas, worse ideas, terrible ideas, and things better left unsaid because people will think that you are the biggest moron in the history of the universe.... Opera House and botanical gardens? leave them alone thank you, they work quite well as they are....
New Opera House somewhere else in Sydney, knock yourselves out, just leave this building alone...The architect Ken Woolley has gone one better, with a proposal that would allow the Opera House complex to stage the grandest of grand operas without remaking either the opera theatre or concert hall. His idea is to build a 1800-seat opera theatre next to the Opera House, partly over the harbour and partly into the Botanic Gardens. He says this could be done for $400 million.
Woolley admits his idea will not appeal to all. "Some critics will feel it compromises Utzon's original vision, while others will say it just will not work … It does demand courage. Only the brave would dare build something near the sacred monument."
