Anyone taking holidays to Sydney in the new year is in for a treat as the Sydney Festival is running for three weeks in January.
People booking last-minute flights to Sydney this winter may want to consider travelling in January, when they will be able to experience the Sydney Festival.
Running from January 9th to 30th, it offers guests and locals an opportunity to see some of the best theatre shows and musical talent in the world.
The Festival First Night is particularly popular as a number of musical events are held around the city’s parks and streets for free.
Tourists can wander among Sydney’s iconic landmarks and take in a variety of musical performances, including Al Green and Kasey Chambers.
Shows from international performers will be topping the bill at theatres across the city, with everything from serious drama to laugh-out-loud comedy on offer.
Tickets vary in price, so it is best to check the official website for full details and show times and venues.
In addition to the live performances, there will also be a number of art exhibitions and installations around the city for the duration of the festival.
