Luminous
Sydney Opera House presents Luminous - an annual festival of music, debate, light and performance. Curated by Brian Eno, this inaugural year features a plethora of music acts alongside public talks and spectacular light and art installations from May 28 to June 14.
In a brilliant display of colour, Eno will launch Luminous with the lighting of the sails, transforming Utzon's masterpiece into an artists' canvas. The festival will also feature Eno's image/sound installation, 77 Million Paintings. Acclaimed at the Venice Biennale, this constantly evolving, totally original audio/visual experience will run throughout Luminous as a free event in the Studio.
Music highlights include New York supergroup Battles, UK synth-popsters Ladytron, Irish singer/songwriter Damien Dempsey, Fourth World trumpeter Jon Hassell, the incomparable Reggie Watts, the cosmic Laraaji, the voice of Underworld Karl Hyde, and the hottest new name in electronic music Jon Hopkins.
