If you don't remember seeing the millennium fireworks over the Sydney Harbour near the
Sydney Opera House, you for sure must remember seeing this building in Finding Nemo! This famous performing arts venue opens its doors to ballerinas, rock stars, comedians, the famous and the no-names.
The history behind creating the structure is fascinating. The man who actually designed it, never stepped foot in his final creation. It ended up costing 95 million more than estimated and took 10 years longer than estimated to complete.
There are a total of 5 theaters in the Opera House, including: Concert Hall (which holds the largest organ in the world, pictured below), Opera Theater, Drama Theater, Playhouse, and Studio Theater. We saw a beautiful ballet in the Opera Theater. It had three acts, one from each decade, the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

After the ballet, we decided it was time for a night out! We first stopped right outside the Opera House at the Opera Bar. We were also hungry, so we ordered pizza! We accompanied that with Australian beer. To work off the calories, we then headed to the dance floor!

After we shut down the Opera Bar, we called one of Ann Marie's Australian friends that she had met a couple years ago traveling in Switzerland and he suggested we catch a cab to
Kit & Kaboodle for some serious dancing. Hello red light district...every major city has one!

And no night out would be complete without some late night food. No, it wasn't Roppolo's, it was this lovely mushy pie pictured below, complete with beef, peas and gravy. And yes, it was good!
