Every one recognises the Opera as the iconic monument of Sydney with its incomparable volumes making the building a masterpiece of international architecture. A legend tells that, in a recent past, some big stars of the Lyric art “tested” the most difficult roles in Sydney in front of a brilliant audience but very far from the Western journalists!

The Sydney opera is well reputed around the world. One of the most acclaimed soprano after the Callas era, Joan Sutherland was the incarnation of the Diva. She bring the Lyric Art to the highest as a proud ambassadress of her native city, Sydney.
It seems that there is a invisible link between the Australian city and the Opera, you can meet sometimes in completely unexpected fields. Gastronomy for example: Nellie Melba, another famous Australian soprano gave her name to the famous dessert “the Melba peach�!

Today, the Sydney Opera and Australia has a lot of great artists who perform on the international scenes. Sir Charles Mackerras, Yvonne Kenny, Deborah Riedel, Simone Young or LISA Gasteen are the perfect examples just like the composers Percy Grainger, Peter Sculthorpe or Ross Edwards.

Pick up a copy of 3D World (dance/r&b), Drum Media (rock) or Brag (bit of both): they’re free from most music shops and newsagents, and have a gig guide in them. Spraci (http://www.spraci.net/) and Faster Louder (http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/cityselect.htm) have upcoming gigs and regular nights listed as well.

If you’re here in Feb, maybe take a look at the Good Vibrations Festival (http://www.jammusic.com.au/goodvibrationsfestival/). There’s also the Great Escape over Easter (http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=GREATESC06&searchId=b5685074-46cc-47e6-92a0-90bb06f53315).
