UK’s Boris Johnson tours Sydney Opera House before meetings
SYDNEY, Australia — British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson toured the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday ahead of high-level bilateral security talks with Australian officials.
The former London mayor and New South Wales state Premier Gladys Berejiklian were shown ongoing upgrades to the opera house’s Joan Sutherland Theatre that are being undertaken by British company Laing O’Rourke.
Johnson described Sydney as “an unbelievable, mind-blowingly beautiful city.”
“It’s not over until the fat lady sings,” Johnson joked while asking how long the Opera House upgrade would take.
