will receive a $A69 million (US$31 million) make-over during the next
six years which will follow designs by the original Danish architect
Joern Utzon. The improvements will include the construction of grand
columns on the ground level, the orchestra pit will be extended and the
seating refurbished, which will mean it will be closed for a year from
late 2004. REUTERS/David Gray
