Description
50 years ago this week, a place was formally opened that is truly beloved by Sydney-siders, Australians, and the entire world. The Sydney Opera House is an unmistakable part of the cultural fabric of this city and the nation, and plays a substantial role in Australia's identity.  Louise Herron is the person ultimately responsible for this world heritage building. Since 2012, she has been the Sydney Opera House CEO, and has shepherded the venue through the most significant renewal of its 5 decade life.  In this conversation, Louise takes us inside this iconic building and reveals how things have changed and continue to evolve for the world's favourite opera house. We also find out a little more about the woman who inhabits what is perhaps the finest office in the world.
