“Vivid Sydney is a platform for Australia’s creative industries and, this year, visitors will have an extra five nights to explore our global city and enjoy the light art, musical performances and creative ideas that will delight this year’s audiences.”

 

This year’s Vivid Sydney program includes performances by New Order and Björk and conversations with director and producer Spike Jonze, House of Cards creator Beau Willimon and the creative force behind Orange Is the New Black, Jenji Kohan.

 

Mr Ayres said another highlight this year is Songlines, a projection series lighting the Sydney Opera House.“Songlines will be a breathtaking statement to the world as we project the rich beauty of Indigenous art onto the sails of the Opera House,” Mr Ayres said.

 

“We know our city is the envy of the world during Vivid Sydney. There is no city with a greater combination of natural beauty and ingenuity. It’s a quality visitors find in Sydney throughout the year but one that truly shines during Vivid,” He said.
