LET the festivities begin - the Sydney Opera House 40th anniversary goes into full swing from today, its official birthday.
There will be an official cutting of the cake and happy birthday singalong from 10am.
The Opera House is hosting a range of exhibitions, performances and events but the celebrations will culminate in a world class concert next Sunday night, featuring a diverse range of artists from Baz Luhrmann to Megan Washington, John Butler and Deborah Mailman.
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will also take part in the special event with Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary in attendance.
The Opera House was designed by late Danish architect Jorn Utzon and was officially opened on October 20, 1973.
Some of the world's biggest names have taken to its many stages, among them Joan Sutherland, Oprah Winfrey, Hugh Jackman, Luciano Pavarotti and Sammy Davis Jr.
