Sydney Festival

Sydney

See Website

This three week-long summer festival is one of the country’s most popular, galvanizing the city around an array of dance, opera, theater and musical performances set in venues both iconic (composer Philip Glass at the Opera House) and quirky (the giant five story-high rubber duck, conceived by artist Florentijn Hofman, that floated in Darling Harbor during the 2013 festival. The festival takes place each January: some events are free, and many are family-oriented. Indagare Tip: tickets to the most popular performances tend to sell out fast, so book well in advance. The program for the following year’s festival is usually available online in October.
