About
This blog site is dedicated to the Sydney Festival 2007. We will be featuring news, articles, photos, video and interesting facts about the Festival.

The Festival was originally conceived by the Sydney Committee, the NSW State Government and the City of Sydney with a view to attracing people into the city centre during the holiday month of January. While in many ways still probably best understood as a celebration of this city, it has become synonymous with energy, style, spectacle, sophistication, diversity and accessibility – values that aptly reflect the confidence and vigour of one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
Each year the Festival offers a rich and diverse program spanning all art forms including dance, theatre, music, visual arts, film, forums and large scale free outdoor events. For three weeks in January the Festival hosts around 80 events involving upwards of 500 artists from Australia and abroad. In any given year, it makes use of most of the main theatres across the breadth of the city and also has a commitment to the presentation of quality, large-scale outdoor events such as the iconic Domain Series.

Can’t wait for the Festival this year. So many great events to choose from.
One huge gripe about the festival, the free symphony in the Domain,the main problem is that the great unwashed (us general public) had to sit behind the VIP visitors! it is so unfair !!! how does one get to this exclusive area? I find it so ridiculous that there are people who really do not want to be there, when there are people who are really dedicated and would love to be there.
