Dear Jorn,

Words alone can't express the admiration for the "one of a kind" architecture you have build for the people of Australia.

Even though I not a local, ever time I visit Sydney, the Sydney Opera House is a MUST visit. Few architect can claim to have build real masterpieces recognised worldwide.

Sydney Opera House = Australia = John Utzon.

Rest in peace!

Thanks to Jorn Utzon for being an inspiration. For providing Australian with confidence and inspiration for Landmark Architecture. For providing an enduring legacy between two countries Australia and Denmark.

Some people are able to extend beyond the human capacity to perceive and create something as timeless as the spirit.

Mr Utzon did this, and The Sydney Opera House is a monument to man's capacity to manifest beyond the confinements of what is considered possible.

Thank you for your inspiration.

My respects to the man who designed the Sydney Opera House, an absolutely magnificent building, which is truly iconic and timeless.
Robert Smith.
Australia
The Opera House is an inspired and inspiring building which has enriched my life and made Sydney a more beautiful place. Every glimpse of it, whether from the many vistas around the harbour or right up close, lifts the spirits. Highly original and structurally daring, it is a poetic solution to a very complex brief…very much ahead of its time.

I am a regular visitor to Sydney and my first trip is always to the Sydney Opera House.
There is for me no other building in the world to which I feel more attracted.

I'm glad to have attended the state memorial for Joern Utzon. This unusual design of the building would give anyone an eye-opening impact in mind. I work just opposite to the Opera House. I have a walk frequently along the north shore water line. Every time during such a walk, I thank him for creating such a wonder for us, for me to appreciate each day.

Quite simply, our opera house is a work of art of historical magnitude. Importantly & wonderfully, all of us, rich or poor, have ownership of it, and this is so appropriate to how Australians think things ought to be! I wish I had been able to cross off my To Do list, the personal letter to Jorn Utzon expressing love for the building and the journey he endured to bring it into being.
