Melbourne International Arts Festival
Victoria’s flagship arts event : 19 days of world-class theatre, opera, dance, classical and contemporary music, circus, visual arts and outdoor performance.
I led four festivals totalling 700 performances, 24 commissions, 40 world premieres and 66 Australian premieres. Broke records with over 250,000 attendees and $3.8M in ticket sales.
Artistic highlights:
- Taylor Mac's 24 Decades History of Popular Music (commission/international premiere)
- Philip Glass's opera La Belle et la Bête (Australian Premiere)
- commission of Tan Dun's Buddha Passion and Yang Liping's Rite of Spring
- Cie Carabosse's Fire Gardens (for 30k people in the Royal Botanic Gardens)
Sydney Morning Herald said of the 2017 Festival: “the strongest Melbourne Festival in years ... if you didn’t see it, you missed a landmark theatrical event.”
