This photo shows the view from the Concert Hall foyer toward the Opera Hall through the glass windows. After Utzon was dismissed as chief architect, he never returned to Sydney and never saw the completed Opera House. In 1999, however, he worked on the building again to create design principles to guide all future changes to the structure, which was added to the World Heritage List in 2007.
