Antony and the Johnsons (USA)
SWANLIGHTS
In January this year, New York’s Museum of Modern Art collaborated with Antony, a 44-piece orchestra, lighting designer Paul Normandale, ?light artist Chris Levine, and set designer Carl Robertshaw to create Swanlights – a majestic, orchestral synthesis of luminous imagery, monumental stage design and pure aural beauty that took over the illustrious Radio City Music Hall for one unforgettable night. It was intended as a one-off work of art, never to be seen again – but now Melbourne Festival is proud to present a second showing of Swanlights.
A concert like no other, Swanlights is a soaring hymn of love and loss, a reverie of nature, a celebration of the feminine and ode to our ephemeral place in the world – and, above all, an inspiring showcase for Antony’s distinctive and captivating voice. Standing alone on stage, surrounded by glacial, crystalline structures, resplendent in flickering lasers and dancing holograms, and backed by a full orchestra, Antony channels the eye of a transcendental storm. Swanlights is a show that revels in its awe inspiring scale.
Ghostly and singular, Swanlights is sure to be one of the most memorable music events of the year.
