Utzon Room

The Utzon Room was designed by Sydney Opera House architect, Jørn Utzon and faces the harbour to the east through floor-to-ceiling windows. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Utzon tapestry, elegance, intimacy and impeccable acoustics combine in this small but impressive space.

 

Location and access

The Utzon Room is located on the Eastern side of the Opera House, in front of the Joan Sutherland Theatre. Best accessed through the Box Office Foyer or the Covered Concourse. All Sydney Opera House foyers are accessible, with lifts to the main and western foyers. The public lift to all foyers is accessible from the corridor near the escalators on the Lower Concourse and also in the Western Foyer via the corridor on the Ground Level (at the top of the escalators).

Convergence

21 Oct 2025

Since the release of their recorded trilogy of Paul Stanhope’s quartets, the ASQ has proudly championed this beloved Australian composer, whose first string quartet, Elegies and Dances, bristles with rhythmic vitality. Benjamin Britten’s String Quartet No.2, a deeply moving tribute to the great English composer Henry Purcell, is the musical equivalent of a towering architectural marvel, weaving four distinct voices in stark contrast and breathtaking unity.

The Sufi and the Dervish

2 Nov 2025

Sufi and Islamic sacred music carries a message that speaks beyond religion or culture—it is the sound of longing for the divine, the rhythm of the heart seeking peace. Rooted in love, devotion, and unity, it reminds us that all human beings share the same spiritual essence. The melodies, often simple yet profound, invite us to silence the noise of the world and listen deeply within.
