Sydney Open 2012 Launches
Tickets go on sale for Sydney's largest festival of sanctioned civic snooping.
The Historic Houses Trust's service-entrance festival Sydney Open 2012 was launched this week by HHT Director Kate Clark at the minimalist Strelein Warehouse in Surry Hills. The festival invites Sydneysiders to have a look behind the scenes at private spaces and buildings around Sydney November 2-4, for a Friday to Sunday three day weekend of upcoming sanctioned nosiness.
The festival throws in its first free event this year, indulging in a Festival First Night-style Sydney Open Night on Friday night, turning the key on five buildings at no charge. Parliament House, the Barracks, On Seven at DJs, St James Church and the Chief Secretary's Building (backdrop to the Chaser's accidental APEC over-achieving) will be the first venues to be thrown open to the looming crowd, with the rest of the festival's 50 plus venues to follow over the weekend.
