1991

By 1992, the Festival had become the city’s main public event. With the year signifying Sydney County Council’s 150th anniversary, the Sydney Sesqui celebrations began during the Festival time.

The 1990 Festival of Sydney saw great local and international talent taking the stage. Well-known Australian actor Leo McKern performed in Boswell For The Defence and the United Kingdom’s Victor Spinetti, known for his roles in The Beatles’ films, performed his one-man show A Very Private Diary. Local audiences were also delighted by the stunning production of The Rover from the State Theatre Company of South Australia.
