“The Opera House is a global beacon of creativity and I’m thrilled the NSW Government is supporting the 50th anniversary celebrations through a world-class program for the entire community,” Mr Franklin said. Minister for Tourism and the Arts Ben Franklin said the 50th anniversary season will showcase the best of contemporary culture from major Australian and international artists, with more than 200 performances, events and experiences presented on the Opera House’s famous sails, in its theatres, on the Forecourt and online. The project’s success opened doors to designing and manufacturing other types of seating and propelled Camatic as a global leader.Supported by the NSW Government’s Blockbusters Funding initiative, the year-long season of special events will kick off next month and reach its finale at the Opera House’s 50th birthday in October 2023. Camatic would soon become the first company in Australia to both design and manufacture commercial venue seats from one facility. The contract allowed Camatic to grow from a small engineering firm into a leader in commercial seating. The Sydney Opera House was a significant project for Camatic in 1973.
For over 45 years, millions of people have enjoyed performances at the Opera House seated in Camatic seats. The original components Camatic built and installed in 1973 are fully operational and in excellent working condition today. The 45-year relationship between the most iconic building of the 20th century and Australia's largest seating manufacturer, Camatic, stands the test of time.
The seats required special consideration, and Camatic was trusted to get the job done. The seating needed the same level of precision and design to solve the problems of traditional materials like steel created. The Sydney Opera House was an architectural and engineering feat. At the same time in Melbourne, Camatic was a small engineering firm building a solid reputation for quality and reliability.ĭuring the final phases of the construction of a modern icon, Camatic was asked to supply die-cast seating components for all the seats in the Sydney Opera House. In the early 1970s, the most important and high-profile build of its time was under construction.
