Vivid Sydney is a festival that celebrates everything creative – music, art, theatre ...and lights!
Yes, lights! During this festival, Sydney shines not only with creative talents but also with fantastic arrays of light – on the historic buildings, cultural landmarks and world famous icons, in the streets and lanes and every bit of space that is available in Sydney!
Lighting the Sails is an event that not only Sydney but the whole world waits for every year during Vivid Sydney. The event features lighting up the sails of the Sydney Opera House in different hues!
In 2009, Brian Eno painted a series of colourful designs of light on the oyster-shell rooves of the world famous icon as millions watched in wonder, their hearts pausing with every change of image! The images of the sails splattered with multitudes of colours splashed across the media the world over!
The Sydney Harbour presents the best views of the Opera House as it gets drenched in a pleasing chaos of shifting colours and images. All this in the backdrop of a sparkling, dazzling, glittering city skyline that would sparkle, dazzle and glitter this year like never before!
Enjoy the lights, the views and the harbour from a cruising showboat! The sizzling live dance show on board would add excitement to the experience of the evening! And sign off the evening with delicious a la carte and choice beverages!
This year, the festival will be organised under the curatorship of Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson, the musician-artist duo. And sure enough, Sydney, the harbour and the harbour cruise will remain vivid in your memory for years to come!
