With performances inspired by entertainers from 22 countries, the Adelaide Festival is playing to 75% capacity houses as a part of COVID-19 restrictions.
Adelaide Festival co-Artistic Director Neil Armfield, is thrilled to bring the festival to the state with more than 55,600 tickets issued.
“The Adelaide Festival has been one of the luckiest of all the festivals in the country and we have an extraordinary 17 days ahead of us.
“Planning across this year has thrown some uncertainty into the mix but we have managed to pull it off. The team has been working really hard bringing performers in from across the world.
“We got through unscathed in 2021 and while in 2022, there have been so many roadblocks, we have made it happen.
“In other states audiences have shown shyness in showing up but there’s greater confidence in Adelaide.
“We are keen to keep artists and audiences safe and we are proceeding with confidence.
More than 2,000 tickets have been distributed to people to attend selected Adelaide Festival productions through two separate Open House programs, generously supported by The Balnaves Foundation.
Proof of vaccination will be required and masks will be encouraged to be worn across venues and events. To check out the Adelaide Festival events and productions, visit https://www.adelaidefestival.com.au/
