Description
Jorn Utzon had the good fortune to win the international design competition for the Sydney Opera House in 1957, but from the outset, the enterprise was dogged by parochial politicking. By 1966 Utzon found himself the centre of a raging artistic and political scandal, and the unrelenting scrutiny left him with no choice but to leave Australia - never to return and see his masterpiece. This is a truly enthralling story of an architect and the icon he created.
