<p>The world-famous Sydney Opera House, a premier tourist destination in Australia, is to undergo a $202 million renovation, the largest since it opened its doors in 1973.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Those famous arches will soon include a new Creative Learning Centre for children and families, who can participate in workshops, creative play activities and performances. There will also be a separate space for a permanent digital classroom where students will be able to work with artists in programmes spanning drama, music, maths, science, literature, history and other study areas.<br /><br />An updated entrance and foyers under the monumental steps will boast everything from new elevators to digital art canvases, and provide better access for those with disabilities. A new multi-function centre, where conferences and weddings with views of the harbor can be held, will be another highlight of the renovation.<br /><br />One of the major undertakings will be the improvement of the acoustics in the main concert hall, which will be redesigned by Melbourne-based ARM Architecture. The updated concert hall will feature a 3D sound system and quieter air-conditioning. In addition, the renovation will lower the stage and install a ceiling with reflectors to try and improve the distribution of the sound. <br /></p>
