The nation’s largest arts festival is un doubtfully the most happening and exhilarating annual cultural event.

In 2010, Lindy Hume will have her debut as Festival Director and Chief Executive of Sydney Festival 2010. One of this year’s highlights includes Rogues Gallery, a one-night-only concert of pirate ballads and sea shanties conceived by hot celebrity, Johnny Depp and performed by Marianne Faithfull, Tim Robbins, Baby Gramps, Sarah Blasko and David Johansen. Lindy Hume said at one occasion: ”Some are ribald, others are haunting and tragic – especially the ones about long sea journeys and people being wrenched from their homelands and brought to the hellhole of Australia,” further, ”Having the concert at forecourt of the Opera House brings historical resonances, and the quality of the contemporary musicians and artists makes it all the more remarkable. I will probably get around to producing an opera but I’m more interested in juxtapositions of music and text.”
Let’s keep our fingers crossed for what promises to be the biggest Sydney Festival since 1799 with music, theatre, dance, circus, exhibitions, forums and free events prepared to startle the spectators and last in the memories until its that time of the year again!
