悉尼大劇院位於悉尼西邊的新興區，是一個可容納2000個坐席的多功能表演劇場。劇院的形式非常獨特：混凝土被打造成流線型的幕簾，從門廳穿過，環繞在禮堂周圍，營造出動感的建築形態，吸引著觀眾進入劇場欣賞表演。垂直的玻璃開窗嵌在混凝土幕簾中，向外呈現出建築內部的景象。白色的混凝土建築外牆在日光的照耀下閃著微光，而隨著夜幕降臨，劇場內演出的燈光則反向照亮了夜空。項目的設計理念超前而大膽，旨在通過形式，材質及色彩搭配創造出從外部世界進入魔幻表演世界之旅。
The Sydney Coliseum Theatre is a 2000-seat multi-mode performance venue located in burgeoning Western Sydney. The coliseum’s form is distinctive; a flowing concrete curtain swept across the foyers and around the auditorium creating a fluid movement that intrigues, drawing patrons into the performance within. Glimpses through the concrete curtain are accentuated through vertical glass slivers that reveal interior colour to the neighborhood beyond. Shimmering white concrete gently glimmers by day, and as the light dims, the glow of performance illuminates the night sky. The conceptual narrative for the design stems from the concept of transcendence, with the journey from the outside world to the magic of performance reflected through form, materiality and colour.

該項目的設計擯棄了多餘的裝飾，並有意限制了材料的使用。整個建築只使用了三種主要材料，木材，水磨石及石膏。
The design confidently rejects superfluous decoration and employs a purposely restrained use of three primary materials; timber, terrazzo and plaster.

建築中的夾層和輾轉的樓梯之間產生了戲劇性的結合，為內部空間帶來交響樂般的非凡品質，將戲劇的靈魂注入到建築中的每一個角落。室內多層的中庭由寬敞的樓梯相互連接，在進入安靜的表演區前，形成了一系列有趣的停留空間。

The dramatic interplay between layered mezzanines and sweeping staircases creates a symphonic quality to the interior, imbuing the heart and soul of performance into every inch of its built form. A generous sweeping stair connects the multi-layered atrium, carving out multiple vantage points to take in the charged atmosphere before the quiet calm of curtains up.

劇場的配色凸顯了空間的戲劇性，能夠很好地激起觀眾的期待。當觀眾進入劇場式，象牙色立面及灰色水磨石地板形成的外部空間，將陡然轉化為由木材裝飾的劇場內部空間。流線型的木板裝飾包裹著空間中央黑色的表演區，觀眾的注意力由此被吸引至舞臺中央。
Cox事務所總監Brooke Lloyd表示：“從芭蕾舞愛好者到搖滾音樂家，這個劇場將服務於所有人。質樸純粹的空間將像變色龍一樣，適應任何人及任何場合。”
The palette heightens the drama as you move into the theatre – stirring patrons’ expectancy for what lies within. The space dramatically shifts from an ivory lined façade and dove grey terrazzo floors to a fluid ribbon of timber, enveloping the central volume into an inky dark performance space where all attention is on centre stage.
“This venue is for everyone, from ballet lovers to rock enthusiasts. The honest and unpretentious materiality is almost chameleon-like in its ability to suit everyone and every occasion.” COX Director Brooke Lloyd

悉尼劇場執行董事Craig McMaster說到：“建築雄偉壯觀的立面吸引著參觀者前來欣賞內部激動人心的表演。通過獨特的水晶橋入口，觀眾將進入到恬靜舒適的內部空間，欣賞到永不過時的室內裝飾及佈置有枝形吊燈的中庭。”
悉尼大劇院無疑是壯麗的，但更重要的是，它將作為文化中心豐富周邊社區生活，助力社區的團結及穩定發展。
“The façade delivers an imposingly majestic arrival for visitors, hinting at the thrilling performance which await inside. Interior foyers are welcoming and calm, with unique Crystal Bridge entry, timeless natural finishes and magnificent ‘chandelier atrium’.” Executive Director, Sydney Coliseum, Craig McMaster.
The Sydney Coliseum Theatre certainly delivers beauty but more importantly provides a cultural heart to enrich and unite a steadily growing community.
