On the eve of major renovations to the Sydney Opera House, fears are raised that the work might endanger the building’s listing on the World Heritage List. “In the first major change to the appearance of the building, a 45m verandah – or loggia – is to be built along the western wall facing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The plans include the opening of nine large windows in the wall alongside the Drama Theatre, Studio and Playhouse to give theatre patrons million-dollar views of the harbour.”
