Happy 50th Birthday, Sydney Opera House!
To celebrate the Sydney Opera House’s 50th birthday today, world-renowned audio-visual artist, Robin Fox, in collaboration with Genius Laser Technology, will light up the World Heritage site with a laser show called ICON for the next 3 nights.
It is the 1st Sydney Opera House laser show since 1993, when Sydney won the bid to host The Games Of The XXVIIth Olympiad: 2000.
Supported by the New South Wales (NSW) Government’s Blockbusters Funding initiative through Create NSW, it will run from 8pm-10:55pm on Friday and Saturday & 8pm-10:05pm on Sunday.
Inspired by archived drawings & the history of the Opera House, lasers will trace the geometry & architecture of the birthday building from Admiralty House & Campbell’s Cove.
While you can listen to the laser show’s original soundtrack from the Northern & Western Broadwalks of the Sydney Opera House, you can also listen to it online here.
Robin Fox is an internationally recognised Australian audio-visual artist working across live performance, exhibitions, public art projects and designs for contemporary dance. His laser works, which synchronise sound and visual electricity in hyper-amplified 3D space have been performed in over 60 cities worldwide.
