The iconic venue has been fined A$15,000 for noise violations after complaints by its neighbours.

Residents of the so-called Toaster building objected to four concerts in 2015 by Florence And The Machine, claiming it was far too loud.

The New South Wales government has now slapped an order on the opera house, prohibiting all noise above 70 decibels on all days after 4pm.
