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.
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).

Carnatic Music today symbolizes an effort to bring an ancient performance practice to the contemporary audience and listener. What once was the traditional music of the temple halls and "darbars" (royal court concerts) - a music soaked in "bhakti" (devotion), "rasa" (emotion), and "manodharma" (personal creativity), is now re-contextualized incorporating a new pallet of sounds and innovative instrumentation to connect the audience to the inspiration of that tradition.
