Getting to see the Opera House light up for Vivid is one of the festival's undeniable highlights (sorry, we had to). This year, the vibrant work of iconic Australian painter John Olsen will form the entirety of the moving projections that will illuminate the white sails from 6-11pm every night from May 26 to June 17.
Olsen's vivid body of work from over 60 years will be brought to life on the Sydney Opera House for Lighting of the Sails: Life Enlivened. Prior to his recent passing in April at the age of 95, Olsen worked closely with the team who is bringing 15 of his famous artworks to the iconic billboard of the Opera House sails.
