Acoustic perfection is the resounding star in these temples of high art, but it wouldn’t sound as sweet without the accompanying history and/or visual appeal

It almost goes without saying that there’s nowhere quite like Australia. For anybody who has been there you either love it or hate it. This headline is being used to launch Tourism Australia’s new 90 second advertisement to persuade us to visit the country. So far so good. It’s the rest of the advert that seems to have upset the some Australians.

That’s what Sydney Opera House in Australia did last week.
A company offered a million dollars if it could project its logo/details onto the shells of the building. Was it just a publicity stunt or was the offer genuine? Was the Opera House right to refuse the money?
