2015

The 2014 Sydney Festival was awash with Australian premieres and sold out shows, with a mix of ticketed and free programming. This year’s Festival included a renewed focus on classical music and large-scale visual arts projects. Two hugely popular installations were Sacrilege, Jeremy Deller’s inflatable Stonehenge, and Merchants Store, Leandro Elrich’s gravity-defying interactive artwork.

From a giant rubber duck in Darling Harbour to a Handel-Westwood opera feast, the 2013 Sydney Festival, the first from new Festival Director Lieven Bertels, had something for everyone.
