Clear your diaries - we're attending a number of fabulous Sydney Festival events this week.
On Thursday (16/1) we head to the famous Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent for an intimate showing from Berlin-based electro musician, Holly Herndon.
Two days later (Saturday 18/1) you’ll find us at Chippendale’s Seymour Centre for Time Flies (we’ve sold out our ticket allocation), while later on that evening we’ll be settling in under the stars for a night at the opera.
Come join your fellow gig buddies for a night of operatic joy. Bring your own picnic or enjoy delicious food from the many local food trucks catering the event, Opera in The Domain is a musical highlight of the Sydney summer.
