The programme for Sydney's Vivid LIVE event in 2019 is here.
Vivid LIVE transforms the nation’s most famous stages with a celebration of originality, innovation and excellence in contemporary music and culture as part of Vivid Sydney, the largest festival of light, music and ideas in the Southern Hemisphere.
Vivid LIVE is now in its second decade. It aims to focus on artists who work at the cutting edge of their genre – from jazz and electronic to hip hop and classical – and visionaries who create on their own terms. It's full of special projects, collaboration, world-firsts and one-off productions and performances.
There are 11 exclusive performances on every Opera House stage.
