Overview

This year, the Cannes Film Festival hosted a complete television series screening for the first time in its 70 year history. The occasion was the world premiere of Top of the Lake: China Girl, a mystery series written and directed by Academy Award winner Jane Campion. Now, the Sydney Opera House has announced it will host the Australian premiere on August 1, bringing the series back to its Sydney roots.

The series, which has scored Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, stars Elisabeth Moss (Madmen, Truth), Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Nicole Kidman (Big Little Lies, The Hours, Moulin Rouge!). It follows the story of Detective Robin Griffin (Moss), who recently returned to Sydney and is searching for the killer of a body that washed up on Bondi Beach.

The event will include the screening of the first two episodes, followed by a Q and A with Campion, her co-writer Gerard Lee and director Ariel Kleiman (Partisan). Pre-sale tickets are currently available for Insider Members, with newsletter pre-sale beginning tomorrow and general public tickets on sale this Friday, July 7.
