Visions of Vienna…

by on Feb.05, 2015, under Life, Photography

On the 4th Feb 2015, in a performance titled “Visions of Vienna” the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s performance of “Greatest Hits from Vienna” was broadcasted live onto the sails of the Sydney Opera House.

So whilst the orchestra was playing live within the main concert hall of the Opera House to a packed audience it was being beamed outside and projected back onto the Opera House sails to a packed audience outside at Dawes Point (they even had speakers setup around the point for people to view and listen to the performance).

I’d shot the lit up sails of the Opera House many times before – during Vivid Sydney and many other events, but it never fails to impress and they push the bar just a little further each time.

I tried a handful of different locations this time and some of my favourites are included here. All in all a very pleasant night to be out, plus the music was pretty good 🙂
