In case you missed it, the Sydney Festival is back on and it’s bigger than ever this year. Featuring a colossal event line up that includes everything from musicals to film premiers, outdoor concerts, to a towering ice block installation, it’s primed to be a memorable time for all attendees.
The beloved free concert, Symphony Under the Stars is back for its annual run at Parramatta Park along with a huge production of hit musical Girl From The North Country that features reimagined versions of music by one Bob Dylan.
Thaw — ice block installation
Joining the fray is Thaw — a huge art installation with an important message behind it. A 2.7 tonne ice block will be hoisted over the Opera House along with a solo performer atop the structure while it melts away. Presented by acclaimed company, Legs On The Wall, Thaw aims to address the pressing issue of climate change, more specifically the impact each of us has on the planet.
