Vivid Sydney 2013 Opening Night Party at MCA

There was a full moon to accentuate the opening night of the Vivid Sydney Festival. The rain was ineffectual in dampening the enthusiasm of the attendees of the launch event at the level six balcony at MCA and those on street and water level. The count down by the NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Trade Andrew Stoner and turning of the switch to light up the Sydney landmarks gave a new year’s eve type feel to what was about to visually astonish us. And it was spectacular. The creativity and ingenuity in the moving light displays were captivating. Seeing the Opera House in a way I had never experienced before by artistic lights combined with the Opera House being visually flanked by a cruise ship in port and a cruise ship heading out alongside the Botanic Gardens made for a never-to-be repeated moment. In a word, spectacular!
