Hi, I wanted to leave a comment on your post regarding the water under the Opera House but could not:

chamber under the center portion, to be filled with water and add weight to
stabilize the whole structure. This underground chamber, (the size of two olympic swimming pools), under water, has columns and is
checked by firemen/scuba-divers with lights (it is totally dark) every so often. And yes, there are trouts, I saw them on the film. 🙂
