Well its a shame that these two venues were never realised. But I believe that the Minor Hall wouldn't of been used as a Drama Theatre in the end, and that Utzon would of modified his plans for this space to be a Concert Hall, for the Sydney Symphony. The colours in the Minor Hall would of been different as well, not gold and red as seen in this video, but blue and silver or maybe even a deep purple.
Thank you so much for posting this video. It had such an impact on me when I first saw it at the Opera House in 1995. I often think of how things might have been when I go there, especially when cursing the acoustics of the Concert Hall!
This video was part of a university thesis by Philip Nobis on Utzon's Interiors for the Opera House. The video is based on the final scheme that Utzon was working on prior to his exit from the project. For those of us who value and cherish the Opera House, and Utzon's role in it, we should all be eternally grateful for the work Philip has done on this aspect of Utzon's work. Thank you Philip, not only for your efforts over the years, but also for your generosity in uploading this video.
