  • Arts and Culture Unnumbered Sparks: Janet Echelman, TED Sculpture Foreword
    Arts and Culture Unnumbered Sparks: Janet Echelman, TED Sculpture Foreword Imagine a world without performing or visual arts. Imagine – no opera houses, no theatres or concert halls, no galleries or museums, no dance, music, theatre, collaborative arts or circus – and in an instant we appreciate the essential, colourful, emotive and inspiring place that creative pursuits hold in our daily life. Creating opportunities for arts to flourish is vital, and this includes realising inspiring venues which are cutting edge, beautiful, functional, sustainable, have the right balance of architecture, acoustics, theatrical and visual functionality and most importantly are magnets for artists and audiences, are enjoyable spaces and places, and allow the shows and exhibitions to go on. 4 Performing Arts Bendigo Art Gallery 5 Performing Arts Arts and Culture Performing and Visual Arts 03 08 – 87 88 – 105 Foreword Performing Musicians, Arts Artists, Sculptors and Festivals 106 – 139 140 – 143 144 Visual Arup Services Photography Arts Clients and Credits Collaborators Contents Foreword 3 Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall 46 Singapore South Bank Studio, Queensland Symphony Orchestra 50 Australia Performing Marina Bay Sands Theatres 52 Arts 8 Singapore Elisabeth Murdoch Hall Federation Concert Hall 56 Melbourne Recital Centre 10 Australia Australia Chatswood Civic Place 58 Sydney Opera House 14 Australia Australia Carriageworks 60 Glasshouse Arts, Conference and Australia Entertainment Centre 16 Australia Greening the Arts Portfolio 64 Australia Melbourne

    Page 1 of 10 MARKETING AND EVENTS COMMITTEE Agenda Item 5.4 REPORT 8 May 2007 EVENTS REPORT – 1 NOVEMBER 2006 TO 28 FEBRUARY 2007 Division Commerce & Marketing Presenter Peter Stewart, Manager Events Melbourne Purpose 1. To inform the Marketing and Events Committee of the events conducted within the City of Melbourne between 1 November 2006 and 28 February 2007. Recommendation from Management 2. That the Marketing and Events Committee accepts the Events Report – 1 November 2006 to 28 February 2007. Comments 3. The events outlined in this report relate to those coordinated through the Events Melbourne Branch of the City of Melbourne. A small number of arts events are coordinated through the Arts & Culture Branch and are not within the scope of this report. Water Restrictions and Events 4. The City of Melbourne has initiated a number of proactive strategies to significantly reduce the water consumption and water usage during events as a result of the current state-wide water restrictions. 5. These strategies involve utilising alternative or modified water-filled traffic management treatments; minimising water usage during vending, food preparation and drinking water fountains; using concrete/sand-filled weights instead of water-filled weights in infrastructure weighting; and utilising Class A recycled water for portable toilet flushing rather than drinking water. 6. As a result of these strategies being implemented, recent events have significantly reduced the level of water usage during events, for example New Year’s Eve 2006 utilised 250,000 litres less water and Moomba Waterfest utilised 300,000 litres less water than in previous years.

  • Melbourne׳S Rockin׳ Venues
    Melbourne’s Rockin’ Venues The Palais Theatre Most punters in Melbourne have had a Palais experience at least once. Maybe you saw The Rolling Stones in ’66, or went to Jesus Christ Superstar or The Andrew Durant Memorial Concert in the 70’s? Today it remains a grand old dame, still hosting iconic shows. Here is a cool link to its history: https://palaistheatre.com.au/venue/venue-history Armstrong Studios Basically, it was our Abbey Road. Whispering Jack was recorded here, and many other acts came to avail themselves of its world class facilities. (U2, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Split Enz, Crowded House and many more) Bill Armstrong started out in a terraced house in South Melbourne before moving operations to an old butter factory in Bank street. The work recorded here is a staggering list of Australian Rock & Entertainment. Wikipedia has the story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_Studios Festival Hall The “House of Stoush” in West Melbourne has hosted Wrestling, The Beatles, Boxing, Jethro Tull, Roller Derbies, Black Sabbath, Chuck Berry, The Bee Gees, Roy Orbison & hundreds more eclectic shows over its six-decade history. Recently, it was saved from high rise ‘re-development’ by concerned councils & ratepayers. https://blogs.unimelb.edu.au/archives/boxing-ballroom-dancing-and-the-bishop-of-coventry- festival-hall-and-stadiums-pty-ltd/ http://www.jpgr.co.uk/ven_melbourne.html Melbourne Town Hall A strange rock venue you might think, but The Beatles & Abba have both waved at the crowds from its balcony.

  • Submission-In-Chief Melbourne Metro Rail Project EES Hearing Thank Y
    National Trust of Australia (Victoria) ABN 61 004 356 192 Tasma Terrace 4 Parliament Place 12 September 2016 East Melbourne Victoria 3002 Email: [email protected] Web: www.nationaltrust.orG.au National Trust of Australia (Victoria) submission-in-chief T 03 9656 9800 F 03 9656 5397 Melbourne Metro Rail Project EES hearing Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment regarding the Melbourne Metro Rail Project (MMRP). We are cognisant of the strategic justification for the project, and we understand that heritage is but one factor that will constrain the MMRP design and construction. Although the tunnelling method adopted will avoid many impacts on heritage, where works are required at street level they often intersect with places of heritage significance, which should be avoided wherever possible, particularly with regard to the Domain where it is very important to provide certainty that the landscape will not be negatively affected. 1 PRECINCT 1—TUNNELS 1.1 Domain Parklands H2304, HO398 - Tom’s Block The National Trust has heard the evidence of Mr Patrick and Mr Shears and retains serious concerns about the effect of soil stabilisation using ‘grouting’ techniques on trees in Tom’s Block. It was the evidence of Mr Lovell, Mr Shears, and Mr Patrick that the alignment should preferably go under CityLink to avoid impacts on the Domain. It is our submission that the alignment option above CityLink would have an unacceptable detrimental impact on the heritage of the Domain, which is characterised by a parkland of scattered trees dotted across lawns, divided by avenue plantings along winding roads and paths.

    MELBOURNE SEASON 2020 PATRON-IN-CHIEF DR HARUHISA HANDA Welcome to our 2020 Season The joy of music is one of the true pleasures in life. It can transport us to another plane and to a level of enjoyment that is deeply personal, but at the same time extremely public. When that music includes some of the greatest operatic voices in the world today, it reaches a level of joy that is sublime and touches us deeply with its emotional intensity. The combination of brilliant 21st-century design and productions which are intensely powerful and moving, together with phenomenal singing, means that Richard Wagner’s goal of achieving a total work of art becomes real. While we’re committed to achieving this at every performance, it will certainly be the case when we present Lohengrin in Melbourne in this thrilling production.
