Travel Info Can someone please tel me more about Sydney's Art & about festival? Travel Tips Hi, hope this site is what you are looking for. http://www.girl.com.au/sydney-arts-fair-... Others I couldn't find a festival in Sydney to match your description but a list of all festivals held in Syndey can be found here http://www.sydneyfestivals.com.au/... may be you will find the one you are looking for. Australia's leading cultural festival, the Sydney Festival has been a force to be reckoned with since 1976. Welcoming the world's best theatre, music, art and dance and running throughout the height of the Sydney summer, the festival starts each New Year off with an avalanche of artistic activity and traditionally ends on Australia Day (26 January). The 2006 sees a new festival director after four curated by Brett Sheehy. Fergus Linehan takes over for 2006 and beyond, and has already announced a couple of highlights from the 20 days of artistic excellence that is due to hit Sydney in the annual run up to Australia Day. Theatrical magician Robert Lepage returns to the festival after his 2001 showing of The Far Side of the Moon with his 2005 bicentenary commission in honour of Hans Christian Andersen, The Andersen Project. Using a typical device, Lepage weaves various narrative strands together, not only Andersen's visit to the Paris World Fair in 1867 and two of his tales, The Dryad and The Shadow, but also a modern tale set in a steamy Paris sex shop. Also heading Down Under are Mercury prize winners Antony and the Johnsons, no stranger to Sydney having been seen in the Leonard Cohen tribute Came So Far for Beauty in February 2005 (and now out on DVD). The British-born lead-singer Antony Hegarty and his New York-based band are back for three concerts at the State Theatre. Festival favourites such as Jazz in the Domain and Bacardi Latino Festival at Darling Harbour return, along with Symphony in the Domain and the Streets Ferrython on Australia Day itself. Notable for how many events are free, the Sydney Festival also has a number of major exhibitions running throughout the city during January. The full programme is announced on 3 November - keep an eye on the Sydney Festival Website for breaking news. Sydney is a beautiful city and there is always something going on there. In Darling harbour, there's always something happening. Check it out on ; www.darlingharbour.com |
