Opera House

Curious as to what others think of advertising on Opera House.

I’m personally not a fan. A member of my family has a vested interest (part owner of let’s just say a VERY well known horse ) I have been subjected to some words. I don’t mind teally, for I believe everyone has a right to an opinion.

As I said…just curious

    I would only like to see it lit up in colour. i.e. Pink for Breast Cancer.

      Or lime green to increase mental health awareness. I read somewhere that is the colour most recognised. I thought it was blue.
      I totally agree with your logic perthchick.

    I’m definitely not a fan of this new development. It feels disrespectful to a very iconic building.

    Haha! I thought the same thing too Kassalee!

    I wonder if there’ll be some adverts emblazoned across the opera house while Harry and Meghan are visiting? I think not.

    I’m more disgusted by the NSW government for over ruling the Opera Houses Management. When the management said no, that should have been the end of it.

    I would be curious though if the advertising was for anything else, a charitable, or human rights organisation would that have been ok?

      I agree, the management teams decision should have been final.

      The money spent could have been used so much more wisely. Mmmmm maybe even towards helping those with gambling addictions.

    I strongly disagree with it. It is an Australian icon. Tourists come here to see the Opera House. They don’t come here to see it saturated with advertising for a horse race, which in effect is condoning gambling.

    Next thing you know there will be adds on our passports and currency!

    I don’t think advertising is appropriate on an iconic Australian landmark which is recognisable internationally.

    I signed the petition to take it down. Just ridiculous!! I was listening to ABC Radio and one of the guys from The Chaser (comedy show) got Alan Jones phone number and put it on the sales after he argued to keep the advertisement going. Apparently, Alan Jones was inundated with disgruntled calls.

    Thank you for your individual thoughts.
    Let’s hope we never see it again.
