worden/geworden
Hello.
I'm a bit confused about when and whether I should use each. I came across this sentence:
Jetzt ist das Konzerthaus eröffnet worden.
Shouldn't it be, jetzt ist das Konzerthaus eröffnet geworden?

This is a passive expression with"werden", in this case you should use "worden" to formulate perfect tense.
Ich wurde gefragt. (past passive) -> Ich bin gefragt worden. (perfect passive)
"Geworden" is from "werden" to mention state change in future, similar like "become"
Die Angst wurde größer. (past) -> Die Angst ist größer geworden. (perfect)
